Ipconfig command is used to find the IP address of a system from command line. Run the command ipconfig to print IP addresses for all network adapters installed on the system.
c:\>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
If you are interested in just knowing the IP address and not bothered about all other details printed by the command, you can use findstr to filter out unwanted details.
c:\>ipconfig | findstr /C:Address Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::f9d5:883c:9ae7:3af0%12 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.105 IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2001:0:4137:9e76:14b6:3da3:b662:d819 Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::14b6:3da3:b662:d819%11 c:\>
Here, it shows IP addresses for various interfaces installed on the computer, it includes IPv6 interfaces as well.
If the system is connected to a DHCP configured network then you can release the IP obtained from DHCP.
ipconfig /release
The above command works for IPv4. To release IPv6 address the command is given below.
ipconfig /release6
Not show DHCP in my computer
I run cmd / ipconfig using an admin account and it displays the Default Gateway 86.187.161.242, but as it’s a dynamic IP address it both changes each log in and always times out after about 20 seconds. How can I extend the time out to say a minute?

Default Gateway = Router
If you login on your firmware of the router and go to your DHCP server settings.
And change your Client Lease Time. That should do the trick. (https://www.wikihow.com/Configure-a-Router-to-Use-DHCP)
If the default gateway it self changes after 20 seconds. Then I suggest to contact your ISP provider. Or google how to set a static IP to your default gateway.

To find simply the ip, version 4, you can use this command:
ipconfig | findstr /C:”IPv4″
To find ip, version 6:
ipconfig | findstr /C:”IPv6″
for /f “tokens=14*” %%i in (‘ipconfig ^| findstr /i ipv4 ^| findstr /i /v autoconfiguration’) do set ipaddress=%%i
