For one reason or another, you may have to know your Mac’s IP Address.

Here’s how to get it:

1. Click the Apple icon on the upper-left corner of the screen.
2. Select System Settings. (In older versions of macOS, click System Preferences instead.)
3. Click Network. You’ll find this option in the menu bar on the left side of the window.
4. Select your connection type, typically Wi-Fi (wireless) or Ethernet (wired). The connection you are using will say Connected next to it.
5. Click Details next to your network. Once you click your connection type, a new menu will open listing your available networks. The one you’re currently connected to will appear at the top.
6. Locate your IP address. Near the bottom of the Details menu, you’ll see two headers: one that says IP address and another that says Router. The numbers next to these headers are your Mac’s private IP address and your router’s private IP address, respectively.
7. That’s it.
