Quick question: how do I find my IP?
I've never needed to know it until now. A friend and I want to do a direct IP connect to play a computer game. (gamespy sucks)

That is, if you run a non-winXP version 
Doesn't work in XP, if you prefer clicking rather than typing and going all the way to dos prompt just do:
start => settings => Network connections => Local Area Connection => then hit the "support" tab and there you go

Hi Professor panag,
If I may, I'd like to point out that if your computer was not broadcasting an IP address, you would most certainly not be receiving this message.
Since this concept is apparently complex for you, perhaps an analogy would suffice? Think of your post office -- when you send letters to strange people, how do they know who to send it back to unless you put a return address on it?
Cheers,
Elder Asher of the Church of Latter-Day Saints

Proxies just add one more step, but at the end of the day you broadcast to the proxy so they know where to send it back, too.

Yes it is. Along with other TCP/IP terms like anycast, broadcast and multicast.

This isn't a technical forum, and obviously not a technical thread, so I assumed we were using the dictionary-definition of broadcast rather than TCP/IP...

The usual definition of broadcasting is not just "transmitting".

Ok then:
Broadcast \Broad"cast`\, a. 1. Cast or dispersed in all directions, as seed from the hand in sowing; widely diffused.
Nope. Your computer doesn't do this. Your IP address will only be known by the computer you are connecting to, and the intermediate steps.

Depends which definition you want to use.
|
Quote:
|
broad·cast ( P ) Pronunciation Key (brôdkst)
v. broad·cast, or broad·cast·ed broad·cast·ing, broad·casts
v. tr.
To transmit (a radio or television program) for public or general use.
To send out or communicate, especially by radio or television
|
Look at the text that was posted, making fun of the banner ads. It's intended to make people think their IP Address is private and no one should know about it, at least that's how I interpreted it.
And panag too, since he brought up proxies...

I know. I've seen the banner. Yes, IP address is not private, however it's still far from being "broadcasted" anywhere.
Unless you are saying all transmissions are broadcasts, which just doesn't work. Or is talking on the phone broadcasting also?
