It is not very difficult to know about the IP address of the computer. Before we tell you the procedure, let’s have a little introduction to IP address.
IP Address of the Computer.
An IP address is an interesting product of modern computer technology i.e. designed to allow one computer to communicate with another computer via the Internet. The function of the IP address is to identify each networked computer and device on a network.
When more than one computer communicates with one another through the internet or any other local network, they send information to each other’s IP addresses.
The word “IP” stands for Internet Protocol that means the IP address is an Internet Protocol address. Internet Protocol is a set of rules and regulations that govern Internet activity and facilitate completion of a variety of actions on the World Wide Web.

Types of IP Addresses of Computer
There are two main types of IP addresses. It can be either static or dynamic. Static IP addresses are permanent and never change. They provide a simple and easy path for remote computers to contact you.
Static IP addresses provide such information as the region, country, continent, place, and city where the computer is located. On the other hand, Dynamic IP address is an IP address dynamically assigned to your computer by your ISP.
Whenever your computer/router is rebooted, your ISP dynamically provides an IP address to your networking device using DHCP protocol.
The difference in Public and Private IP Addresses
IP addresses can be either private or public. ‘Public IP Address’ means an IP address then can be reached from the Internet, while “private” means it cannot be reached from the Internet. E.g. in home networks, every router has a public IP address on the Internet.
The computers, game consoles, smartphones, and all other devices behind the router all have different unique private IP addresses on the home network. If a computer is directly connected to the Internet without any router in between, then the computer’s IP address is a public IP address.
On the other hand, there is an IP address that cannot be reached by the internet is a private IP address. Assuming you’re behind a router performing network address translation, you have two IP addresses that matter. The IP address of Your computer is a private IP address, mostly starting with 192.168——-.
