I want to know my own IP address without having any access to the internet. Lets say i have a new laptop, i connect to the internet, then i disconnect.

Now is there anyway i can find out what my own ip address is?

Well, that's an interesting question. Your service provider assigns your IP and most of them use dynamic assignments which means your IP changes all the time. If you are on a router you have a local address and the router has a wide area address. You could find the wide area address by accessing the router setup page, the same is true for the local address.

If you're in Windows, open the run box, type in cmd and hit OK, when the prompt comes up type in

ipconfig /all

and hit the enter key. It will tell you all your protocols..

i think if u type ipconfig /all it wont give u ur external IP if u are behind a routher.it can be found either in the routher setting.or tru www.whatismyip.com.

Btw if u are Disconnected from the internet and not behind a routher ur IP is 127.0.0.1.

IPCONFIG Will give you your internal IP address if you're connected to a router.
However on providers where you're connected to the internet (such as dial-up or USB modem) it will give you the IP address at the time you request it. Bear in mind this will probably get assigned to somebody else as soon as you disconnect.
