# Find your IP address

Knowing your IP address can help you to 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.

Find your internal IP address:

Click your name on the top bar and select System Settings.

Open Network and select Wired or Wireless from the list on the left, depending on which network connection you want to find the IP address for.

Your internal IP address will be displayed as the IP Address.

Find your external, internet IP address:

Visit whatismyipaddress.com.

The site will display your external IP address for you.
