Every device connected to the network (laptops, tablets, desktops, smartphones, etc.) has its own IP address on the network and a universal MAC address. Very often, for some reason, you need to know your MAC address, or IP address. In today’s article, we will look at how to find the IP and MAC address in Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Mac OS X, IPhone, iPad, Android, Linux devices.
Windows 10
In Windows 10, the IP and Mac address can be found faster than other versions of operating systems. In the notification area, you need to click on the Wi Fi icon, or the Internet, then select “Network Settings”
In the window that appears, select “Additional parameters”. This menu can also be accessed through “Start” => Options => Network and Internet => Wi Fi or Ethernet.
Scroll down and see all the required network parameters
Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10
In all versions of Windows, network parameters can be found through the control panel (the control panel is usually in the Start menu, if not, you can find it through the search, or by right-clicking on the start button and choosing from the list).
In the control panel, select “View network status and tasks” (under Networks and Internet) => on the left side “Change adapter settings” => double-click the left mouse button to open the connection you need => click “Details” => everything will be here the network parameters you need
Also in all versions of Windows, to find out the network parameters – just enter in the command line: IPCONFIG
Mac OS X
The easiest and fastest way to find out the network parameters on a Mac: hold down the “Options” button to open the Wi Fi menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen, and in the list at the very bottom you will see the IP, Mac address, etc.
Method two: go to the Apple menu and select “System Preferences”
Open “Network” and select your network connection, then select “Advanced” and look at the tabs for the network information you need.
IPhone and iPad
To find the IP address and other network parameters in IPhone and iPad – you need to go to “Settings” => Wi Fi networks => near your network, click the arrow
To find your Mac (physical address) in IPhone and iPad – in the same settings go to “Basic” => About phone
Android
On Android, the IP and Mac address can be viewed in the settings:
go to “Settings”, you can go through the menu or lower the curtain and select the gear
Now open “Networks” => Wi Fi => select “Advanced”
We go down to the very bottom, where the IP address and Mac address are written
Linux
This information is available from the notification area, click on the “Networks” icon (two arrows next to each other) and select “Connection Information”. All information will be here: IP address, Mac address, etc.
also all network parameters can be found by entering Ifconfig in the terminal.
In all devices, the process of searching for network parameters is similar, that is, you need to go to settings, network, etc. If there are additions, or if you know easier ways – write comments! Good luck ?
