How to Figure Out a Modem's IP

You can find a modem's IP address in Windows.

A modem is an integral part of a computer network. It enables your computer to access the Internet though your Internet service provider's connection. All devices that are connected to your network have a unique IP address, which identifies them on the network. A typical IP address consists of four numbers, each separated by a period. If you want to find the IP address of your modem, use the Network and Sharing Center utility in Windows.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," and then select "Control Panel."

2. Click "Network and Internet," and then select "Network and Sharing Center."

3. Click "Change Adapter Settings" on the left side of the window.

4. Right-click on the connection; then select "Status" from the pop-up menu.

5. Click the "Details" button. The Connection Details window opens. The modem's IP address is listed next to "Default Gateway."
