your computer and the type of Web server that you are using to display your Web
pages.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Identify your IP Address
------------------------

To find out what your IP address is, use the method appropriate to your version
of Windows.

Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me):

1. Click Start and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type "Winipcfg.exe" (without the quotation marks) and then
  click OK.

Your IP address appears in the IP Address box.

Microsoft Windows NT:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Command Prompt.

2. At the command prompt, type "ipconfig.exe" (without the quotation marks) and
  then press ENTER.

Your IP address appears.

Microsoft Windows 2000:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command
  Prompt.

2. At the command-prompt, type "ipconfig.exe" (without the quotation marks) and
  then press ENTER.

Your IP address appears.

Microsoft Windows XP:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
  Command Prompt.

2. At the command-prompt, type "ipconfig.exe" (without the quotation marks) and
  then press ENTER.

Your IP address appears.

NOTE: Regardless of which operating system you are using, if you use dynamic IP
addressing and you are not currently connected to either your network or the
Internet, you may not see an address in the IP Address box, or it may be
displayed as 0.0.0.0. In this case, you can still access the TCP/IP networking
functionality by referring to the default local host by using either the Domain
Name System (DNS) name of localhost or the default IP Address (127.0.0.1).

Determine Your Web Server
-------------------------

To determine which Web server you are publishing your content on, follow these
steps.

NOTE: Before you follow this procedure, connect to the Internet and open your Web
in FrontPage. You should have author permissions to the Web server.

1. In FrontPage, click click Web Settings on the Tools menu.

2. Click the General tab. The following information is listed:

   - The IP Address or DNS name of the Web server.

   - The version of the FrontPage Server Extensions.

   - The type of Web server software running on the server.

   - The IP Address of the computer running the FrontPage client software.

   - The proxy server software (if any) being used to access the Internet.

NOTE: If you do not have access to the Web server and you need to determine what
type of Web server software is running on the server, you can probe the server
with software from the following Netcraft site:

  http://www.netcraft.com (http://www.netcraft.com)

At this site, type the host name or IP address to find out what Web server is
running at that site.
