How to find the IP address of a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx smart phone

Gone are the days when phones were only used to make calls.  Smart phones are more akin to computers than they are to simple phones, and they use many of the same protocols.  If your smart phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, it will be using an IP address, just like a computer does.

There are a few different ways you can find the IP address for a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.  Below are the two easiest methods.

Method #1:

- Press the Menu button (the button with three lines on it).
- Select System settings.
- Select About phone.
- Select Status.

Method #2:

- Press the Menu button (the button with three lines on it).
- Select System settings.
- Select Wi-Fi.
- Press the Menu button.
-  Select Advanced.

If the phone is not currently connected to a Wi-Fi network, the IP address shown will be the IP address that the phone had when it was last connected.
