finding my ip
 

how do i find my Limewire IP address

Ask Mr Google: What is my ip?

Mr Google will know the answer.

If you want it because you want to direct connect with someone then it should show just above the direct connect search box. If it's not there it means you're firewalled & direct connect probably wouldn't work. To configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); config instructions: Firewall configuration instructions

You can find more about direct connect from a link in this thread: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup ... & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect

To find your ip by yourself, go here: http://www.whatismyip.com/

Or ipconfig in the command prompt, can't forget that!

I know. But you will get the right address on a computer with a direct Internet connection. But if you are on a network that shares an Internet connection all you will get is your NIC's private IP address (192.168.xx.xx for example). However if you have admin access to your gateway or router you will be able to see your WAN IP address which should be your actual external (red zone) IP. But, I was only listing another way to get your IP. In this case http://www.whatismyip.com/ would be MUCH easier as LOTR suggested. Good luck.
