Hi All,

How do I discover my IP address?

I have a wireless printer-copier-fax-scanner, a Brother MFC-7860DW. I've 
been using it with my Lenovo all-in-one running Windows 8.0 and Open 
Book 9.0.1543. Everything was working fine.

Then I realized I was running Windows 8.0 (my upgrade somehow failed), 
so I tried upgrading to Windows 8.1 over the weekend. This time the 
upgrade was successful. My system is working fine. I can even print.

But when I tried scanning, OpenBook says my scanner is off. I checked 
the scanner selection in Open Book and even reinstalled it. Then I 
called FS tech support., and we did the same. The tech suggested I try 
updating my scanner drivers, so when we got off the phone, I went into 
the Brother utility in search of an easy update button. What I found 
instead was a properties button, and in going into that, I discovered my 
scanner has no IP address. I don't really understand how this can be 
when the printer part is working fine, but I believe it because when I 
close the dialog, I get an error telling me to enter an IP address.

The problem is that I don't know my IP address. I had it bookmarked on 
my previous computer, but it died suddenly, and I don't have the URL. 
I've tried searching for printer properties, hoping to get the IP that 
way, but I'm not finding it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Ciao
