darlingnuel: I tried the one about finding your IP address but it only brought out general search info about IP address blah blah blah. How can I know my IP address?Try "What is my IP." If that doesn't work try googling "IP address" from your device's (assuming it's a mobile phone) default browser (not something like Opera Mini) |
