If you are working on a Windows machine, you can view your current IP address with the command WINIPCFG.EXE (IPCONFIG.EXE for Windows 2000/XP). On a UNIX machine, type nslookup along with a machine name (such as “nslookup www.howstuffworks.com”) to display the IP address of the machine (use the command hostname to learn the name of your machine).

- This is the machine/network identifier. This is always a set of numbers, clustered in four chunks, from 0-256. It belongs to the machine, not to the domain name itself. An IP address (number) can support multiple domain names. – post by somatei

Extension:MobileSkin – MediaWiki
This extension automatically detects mobile devices using values in HTTP_USER_AGENT (browser identity) and changes the skin used to display the requested page. If HTTP_USER_AGENT does not contain any known mobile indicators (e.g. “iphone”, “smartphone”, “blackberry”, etc) the page will display with the user’s default skin as defined in his or her preferences.
