There are a couple of ways to find your IPaddress.

Method 1

1. If you are Running a Server - the easiest way to check your IPaddress is to:
a. Click Start Button
b. Select Run. A window appears like this one.

c. In the text box type in this command: winipcfg as shown in the picture above.
d. Click OK. You will get a window similar to the following:

Your IPaddress is shown. The default port number for RB3D servers is 47800. If you need to change your port number then look to your RB3D server readme file.

Method 2  - Sorry about the BIG pictures but I wanted to show how they look.

The second method uses your browser and the WON launcher. The servers that appear on this Launcher list are "broadcasting" their IPaddress information to the metaservers.

1. Go to the WON laucher web page. Click here for the link. Here is a picture of the page:

2. Select the RB3D "LAUNCH GAME" launcher in the top right section of the window

3. Select YES when the certificate window appears. Here is a picture of that window:

4. The launcher window should appear and you will need to select the type of Game Server you would like to see: Melee, Team Melee, or Get the Baron. Here is a picture of that. In mine I have highlighted Team Melee Game, as you can see it is highlighted in GREEN text.

5. Once you select a server type, a list of active server names is displayed in the list. Here is that picture:

6. If you place your mouse pointer over the server name, its IPaddress and port number are displayed on the text line above. This is an excellent way to double check your server IPaddress or the address of one of your favorite servers.
