Windows 95/98: Click Start --> Run ---> winipcfg
Linux: type "ifconfig -a"
Solaris: type "ifconfig -a"

hi rickj sorry if this is wrong but wont this show ur like router address as my ip on each of my pcs is different to my router and it kept showing my router so i always have to use ipconfig. if there any other tools that tell you the actual machines ip not a routers

Rick's link shows your Public IP address, as in the one you show to the world.
It's a waste of time showing your Private (192.168.x.x) address as this isn't accessable from the internet.
