Answer 1

Hope this is what you meant (You have to open Start (the orb), and type cmd into the field right there. The following black screen pop ups what you can see on the screenshot. If you fail, try pressin Win+R combination which lets you run an application. Type: cmd there and ipconfig into the black screen which comes in.):

A little description:
Check Description field. Like mine, you can see Local Area.. so its a (or THE) LAN connection. So if you are after this, thar u go. The Wireless goes for the WLan connection obviously, which is disabled here at the moment.

From Microsoft's website: Find your computer's IP address

1. Open Network and Sharing Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Network and Sharing Center.

2. Under Connection, click View status.

3. Click Details.

Your computer's IP address appears in the Value column, next to "IPV4 IP Address."
