Any computer, which is connected to the Internet, has an IP address, but Windows does not make it easy for beginners to find that address. Even if you are an expert, you would probably prefer something else than navigating through menus and options to find this information. As the name clearly points out, IP Viewer provides you with information about your IP address, but it also displays your MAC, host name and other details. You only need to run the application, and you will quickly find the information you are looking for.

The program's installation package is 5.27 MB. You can install the application in a matter of seconds and you don't need to meet any special requirements. Besides that, IP Viewer is freeware, so you can use it for as long as you want, without buying a license.

The software displays your external IP address, as well as the host name, on the upper half of its interface. Additionally, you can acquire local IP addresses, MAC addresses and descriptions for each network adapter. All you have to do is select your adapters from a drop menu, located on the lower half of the window.

You may refresh the displayed information manually or set the application to refresh it automatically, every few minutes, in the general settings menu. It is possible to prevent IP Viewer from displaying the public IP address, to save logs every few seconds and to display certain information, when you hover with the mouse cursor over the system tray icon. The Edit menu, located on the main window, contains a few options for copying the internal or external IP address, the host name or the MAC address.

Pros

The application displays your local and public IP addresses, as well as other details. The information is displayed instantly and it can be copied to the clipboard. IP Viewer is lightweight, so it will not affect your computer's performance.

Cons

You can not resize the interface and if an adapter's description is too long, the text will be covered by other pieces of information. While using IP Viewer, you will never have to navigate through complex menus, to view your IP and MAC addresses or other details about your connection.
