If you are working from the computer in question, this will give you the information you require:

1. Go to your Start menu and hit run.
2. Type in "cmd", and hit okay.
3. A window should open. In this window, you are able to type text. Type in "ipconfig /all" and hit enter.

If you are *not* working from the computer in question, this will give you the information you require:

1. Go to your Start menu and hit run.
2. Type in "cmd", and hit okay.
3. A window should open. In this window, you are able to type text. Type in "ping [HostName] -n 1 -l 32" (replace [HostName] with the name of the host in question) and hit enter. This will send an echo request from the terminal you are working at to the terminal in question, but, the displayed results include the host's IP address, which is what you want.

Anyhow, hope this helps.
