Getting your IP Address
Hey guys, this is Mac HS1, and I'm just going to be quickly showing you how to get the IP address on a Mac because someone's having an issue where they cannot, um, find their IP address, and they don't want to have to go searching through our videos for an example of where I show you how to get the IP address.
So I'm just going to be in this video just solely showing you how to get an IP address, and I'm going to be showing you how to use it in Chicken of the VNC in case you want to know that too. But you don't have to watch this video if you don't, if you already know how to find an IP address.
Um, I'm just doing it for one of our subscribers. So what you want to do is you want to open up System Preferences. Okay, then you want to open up something called Network under Internet and Network, and then if you're connected to Ethernet, it'll say whichever one has the blue dot next to it. Just click that, and then on the right side here there should be something called IP address.
And this is my IP address: 192.168.1.117. Another way to do it is if you open up Terminal. Let me just log in here. Okay, if you type "ifconfig," somewhere under inet, it'll have your IP address as well. Most local IP addresses will be 192.168.1.2017, unless you have something kind of freaky set up or, um, it'll start with 192.168, and it can be 0 all the way to, you know, so and so.
But that's normally how it works is the 192.168. Um, another thing is I'm going to show you how to use this in Chicken of the VNC. So if you open up Chicken of the VNC, and you don't have to watch this if you don't like Chicken of the VNC or whatever, and you just click "Add" under the new server, you call it iMac, and then under Host, you type the IP address.
Okay, and then the password. So that's how to get an IP address and use it in Chicken of the VNC. I'm just making this video to help out one of our subscribers. Um, so if you don't actually, uh, care, that's okay. So thanks for watching, maads, and one, please subscribe, and goodbye!
