How do I determine my IP configuration?

    On Windows

    Enter “network connections” in the search bar and click on the item below.

    Then locate your network card and access its properties.

    Double-clicking on “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and “Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” will open a window for viewing and editing your IP configuration.

    If the buttons indicating that values are obtained automatically are not selected, then your IP configuration is static.

    On Linux (Debian-like)

    Look in /etc/network/interfaces for your network interface configuration. If the line indicates iface <interface> inet static, then your configuration is static; if the line indicates iface <interface> inet dhcp, then the configuration is correct. If dns-nameservers lines are present in your configuration, then DNS configuration is manual.
