In Windows, how can I find the IP address of another networked computer?

In Windows 8, 7, Vista, or XP, you can find the IP address of another networked computer by using the nslookup utility. Using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a networked computer, nslookup will query a DNS server and return the IP address that corresponds to that domain name.

To find the IP address of another computer:

  1. Press Win-r . In the "Open:" field, type cmd and press Enter.

  2. At the command prompt, type nslookup plus the domain name of the computer you want to look up, and press Enter. For example, to find the IP address for www.indiana.edu, you would type: nslookup www.indiana.edu

    This command will return the following information:

    Server: ns.indiana.edu Address: 129.79.1.1 Name: indiana.edu Address: 129.79.1.61

    The first two lines show the domain name and IP address of the DNS server that answered the nslookup query. The next two lines show the domain name and IP address of the computer for which you were searching.

  3. When you're finished, type exit and press Enter to return to Windows.
