  <title>Find your IP address</title>

  
Knowing your IP address can help you troubleshoot problems with your

  internet connection. You may be surprised to learn that you have two

  IP addresses: an IP address for your computer on the internal network and an

  IP address for your computer on the internet.

      the left pane.
