Posted this in another thread, but figured the traffic in the GD might help. My Ipod Touch does not display an IP address under my settings,I need it to run some apps. What am I doing wrong? In before the "Fail" shit storm.......

I wouldn't think the whatismyip would work.
I'm assuming you want your local IP address (the 192.168.1.x), not your global IP address. If that is the case, access your router (usually Http://192.168.1.1), then go to Status ->Lan devices (or something similar, when your IP is connected). If you want your global IP address, then go to whatismyip.com, as somebody else suggested. Which IP address you need depends on what kind of a program you are trying to run. Some programs might need both, one to connect to the device, and the other to enable port forwarding on the router. |

Settings > General > Network > Select the Network you are connected to > Tap the blue arrow, it will take you to the IP address. Settings-check General-check Network-check but says "VPN not configured" and "W-Fi not conected" If I click on Wi Fi it asks me to choose a network and list "Litonet" with the blue arrow I click on the blue arrow and "DHCP" is highlighted with a list of "IP adress, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS" etc and they are all blank |

use DHCP and open safari and request a web page this will activate the DHCP request When I open up Safari, it asks me to Select a Wi Fi Network and lists "Litonet", when I click on Litonet it asks for a password? What I am trying to do is use an App that will allow me to take a Word Doc and store it on my i touch. I downloaded "ReaddleDocs" from Itunes. Man, how user unfriendly this is becoming....
