You can find your Mac's local IP address as follows:


  1. Click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen and select "System Preferences."
  2. In the System Preferences window, click on "Network."
  3. In the left-hand panel, select the network connection you're currently using (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.).
  4. You should now see your IP address listed in the right-hand panel under "Status."


Alternatively, you can also find the address by using the Terminal app:

  1. Open the Terminal app by clicking on Spotlight Search (the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner of your screen) and typing "Terminal."
  2. Once the Terminal app is open, type "ipconfig getifaddr en0" (without quotes) and hit enter.
  3. Your IP address should now be displayed in the Terminal window. Note that "en0" may need to be replaced with a different identifier if you're using a different network connection.
