Find the IP address of your Microsoft Windows device
To configure some types of integrations and devices, it is important to know the IP address of your Windows device. For example, IP address information is important to know to correctly configure an IDEXX VetLab Station with ezyVet. It is also important to know if an IP address is a static IP address or a dynamic IP address.
