How to Find the IP Address of Your Mac

If you use a router, then the router Internet modem gives the router an external ip address - this is the one everyone on the internet sees connecting to them - in effect the router is connecting.

The router gives the mac an internal ip address and routes traffic to and from that ip address - so if you want to know which ip address the router has a web site is a simple way. If you want to know which ip address the MacBook Pro has, you can see that in network utility - in the utilities folder - or if you install istat menus - then in the toolbar.

Also if you use an Airport - then the Airport utility will tell you the external and internal ip addresses.

Best of luck.

PS - There might be a widget that keeps track of your external ip address.

There is a widget!

IP Widget 2.7

Scrub the widget - istat pro and istat nano will also both tell you - google them.

… will show the IPs on all adapters.

hey i just got an xbox 360 and i got the wireless internet adapter than microsoft makes to pick up my wireless internet. I have an ADSL ethernet modem that is plugged into my Airport, which is streaming in my house. So on my xbox i got the test for the wireless connection to work. then the test for the IP address failed. I have looked online to find the IP address, but i dont know which one i need (of the computer? the airport? the modem box?) and the subnet mask, and gateway, and the DNS numbers. can anyone help please? i have mac os X if that helps
