I have have simple question:
I rebuilt my computer using an old (ish) hard drive, tower and power supply, everthing else is brand new. now should I have an IP address even if unconnected to the internet?
yes i know simple but i am a nub
Jump to PostIf you have a network card with default settings, you should have a 169.254.x.x. IP address.
If you have a network card with default settings, you should have a 169.254.x.x. IP address.
If you do have a network card then it will automatically assign itself ip addresses. for example 127.0.0.1 is a loop back address. An IP it not important if your not connected to a network and if you do connect to a network you will most likely be assigned one automatically.
Put simply don't worry about an IP address.
Does this help?
