How to find out IP of remote computer

I have a problem. I let my computer on at home for remote connection and now I'm trying to access it and it doesn't work.

I assume that the IP address probably changed since it last did a remote connection. How do I find out the IP address of my remote computer if I don't have access to it?

I tried accessing my microsoft account -> security, and that part where the last IP address are stored but none of them work, is there another way? Does maybe tenformus store IP address and where should I go to see them?

Is there any one at your home that can access the computer? If so, Windows has a feature called Quick Assist. This video explains how it works. If you do a YouTube search, there are many more. It works on Windows 10 Home also.

If no one has physical access to your computer then only your ISP will know or has any way of knowing your current public IP address. Contact their tech support. They may or may not tell you.

Unfortunately nobody is at home. Never heard of this quick Assist but It sounds a lot like "remote assistance"

My ISP support is horrible, If I call them they put me to talk with someone that knows less than me.

Somehow by luck I found out the IP: I remembered that the remote computer is running a batch in loop that is saved on onedrive. I accessed onedrive opened the batch and included a command that shows the IP and saves it to a file called IP.txt. Then I waited a couple of minutes and there was file called IP.txt with the remote IP.

I'm still wondering it there are other ways. Does microsoft log your IP when you logon to your Windows or only when you access your microsoft account form the internet?

Hi there. @ricardobohner

One way ==it's a bit fiddly though is to run say a batch job on your home computer say every 30 mins should be enough. What this does is gets the ip address (the ISP address) of your home computer -- pipe the output to a file and then issue a mailto or sendmail command to your email address which presumably you can receive on another computer, phone,tablet etc.

I'm not sure how to do this precisely on Windows but it's "Seemples" on Linux with crontab to schedule the command, output piped to a file and sendmail to send the email. Somebody expert on Windows commands I'm sure can probably post a way to do this in Windows.

Here's the command for any Linux guys out there

PUBLIC_IP=`wget http://ipecho.net/plain -O - -q ; echo`
echo $PUBLIC_IP

Now you've got your IP external address in the variable $PUBLIC_IP

send that to your email every 30 mins or so.

I need to work out though what to do for IPV6 addresses --principle must in theory be the same.

I registered at this one: Winco DDNS - tenha um nome para sua conexao internet

But it doesn't seem to be very good.
