My laptop won't connect to the Internet and it needs an IP address. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

You need to connect with an eathernet cable and go to the ACP and change the network IP. I suggest you talk to your network provider.

Question

How do I change the IP address on my computer?

Community Answer

If you've got a dynamic IP with your ISP (call them to check), you can reset your router to get a new global IP. If you want to change your local IP, that's something you do within your router's settings.

Question

How do I find my IP address on Windows 7?

Community Answer

You need to go to the CMD(Command Line), and enter "ipconfig" and look for IPv4 and thats your network IP! If you want your public IP, go to Google and look up "What is my IP?"

Question

If I am offline On my PC, does it still have any kind of IP address?

Community Answer

No. It does not have an IP address, because an IP address is something that is on the search bar on top of your screen. There is no search bar on the top of your screen offline, so there is no IP address if your PC is offline.

Question

How do I change the IP address on my DVR?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, you can't do that. The IP address is set by your ISP, and only they can change it.

Question

My laptop is missing. How do I get the IP address and tracking device?

Community Answer

You cannot use the IP to track it down, unless it's constantly connected to the internet. Contact your insurance company or your local authorities and ask about what they can do. Most likely, they'll be able to recover it. Your insurance company can compensate if you provide evidence that it was yours and that it was stolen.

Question

I had a fraudulent login by a cashier in my branch. I have their IP. How can I locate the device they logged on with?

You cannot locate the device's exact location yourself. But you can give it to the police, and they can subpoena the ISP that the IP address belongs to and get the address that the IP is registered to.
