Now, I know what you're thinking... "Isn't Ipconfig a Windows thing?" And you're right, it is! But, Macs have their own version, called ipconfig (note the lowercase "i"), which works in a similar way. To access it, you'll need to open the Terminal app on your Mac - don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds!
In the Terminal app, simply type in ipconfig and press enter - voilà! You'll see a list of your network settings, including your IP address, which is pretty handy to have. But, that's not all - you can also use ipconfig to release and renew your IP address, which can help fix connectivity issues - talk about a lifesaver!
