Looking up your IP address METHOD TWO

- Press START, then select RUN
- In the RUN box, type in CMD and press enter, or click OK
- In the "DOS BOX" that appears, type in: IPCONFIG and press Enter

Your IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway information will be displayed. To close the DOS box, type EXIT, and press enter.

Note: If your PC connects to the internet thru a router or firewall, your internet address may not actually be a true internet address. Most routers and firewalls protect your computer from hackers by assigning a different address to your computer that what appears on the internet. This also allows you to connect multiple computers to the internet via a single internet connection.

Looking up your IP address METHOD ONE

• From the Control Panel go to Network and Internet Connections
• In the Internet Connections window, double-click on Network Connections
• In the Network Connections window, find your network connection. Usually this will be labeled as Local Area Connection for a wired connection, or if you are connecting with a wireless connection, it will be labeled Wireless Network Connection
• Right-Click on your network connection and select Status from the menu that appears
• On the Network Connection Status window, click the Support tab

Your IP address will be listed, as well as the Subnet Mask and default gateway

How Does Hide My IP Work?

When your computer connects to the Internet, it is assigned an IP address by your Internet Service Provider. This IP address is used to keep track of your communications with all websites or any program that connects to the Internet. This is known as a Direct Internet Connection.

When you install and run Hide My IP on your computer, it will modify your Internet Connection Settings, telling your computer to make connections through a Fake IP Relay provided by Hide My IP.

Hide My IP is compatible with the Internet Explorer, FireFox, Netscape, and Opera browsers. All websites visited or E-mails sent using these browsers will show you are connecting from one of our fake IP addresses.

With our High-Speed Premium Service add-on to Hide My IP, you can also hide your IP in many other applications such as Outlook Express, MSN Messenger, AIM, WinAmp, Putty, Trillian, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Mail, and much more.
