How do you find your ip? I know how to do the cmd and ipconfig but it isn't working? It always says 'Media Disconnected' where the ip should be. Help?



Best Answer

You don't need to know your local IP address. Minecraft LAN servers are automatically detected by other active Minecraft clients. It'll even show you the local network IP on MC for you.

(the bit before the : is the local IP address, the bit after the : is the port number)

Simply activating the LAN world inside the network should suffice.
