Find IP address without a Web browser

[abbasi]

Hi all,

Whatever way, say CMD, I use to find my IP address I can't because what Google shows doesn't exit in the list offered by CMD!
Why, please?

We use a browser to access a site like Current IP Check and the response comes back. There is no script CMD that does the same thing.

Well, that's not true either, sorry. That returns ONLY the public IP that your ISP assigned to your connect.

To find the IP address of say yahoo.com, get the CMD prompt and enter
nslookup yahoo.com
another way (on Mac & Linux) is whois yahoo.com

Is the IP shown by that site my IP? So there's no way to see that again using anything except for a web browser and go to such an site an find the IP. Right?

@debora32 -- the IPv4 and v6 addresses are relative to the local LAN, not the ISP.

This is a batch command that outputs to the terminal (actually STDOUT)
