WINS IP Address

[Tfield92859]

I have read other questions and replies about WINS IP. except the replies weren't clear about what WINS IP is and How to find it. I entered cmd...then ipconfig/all And yet there nothing about WINS IP there or I just simply don't understand what to look for. Can somebody shed some light on this for me and others Please....Thanks for your time and knowledge.

If you're looking to find your IP address, open the command prompt, and type ipconfig. Your IP is listed next to IP address.

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is about resolving NetBIOS addresses on an IP network - a bit like DNS for NetBIOS. Unless you're on a big corporate network just forget about it.

Hello, Thank you for the reply.
If you wouldn't mind, I still need more information.
I'm sure you know about Vuze...
I have gone into ipconfig/all: I see Ipv4 IP address and also Gateway default IP address, My question is when stting up port forwarding which Ip address do I google to set this up? too open ports for Vuze? Thanks again,

to port forward you will need to access your routers firewall and create rules to forward your ports.
