How do I find my IP Address?

The easiest way to find your IP address is to use the lookup tool here: https://myip.uis.cam.ac.uk//
 

Alternative method

For Windows users, press the windows key and the 'R' key at the same time.
Once Run is open, type cmd and click OK.
In the cmd window, type ipconfig and press enter.

You should now see something similar to the below:

Outlook Quarantined messages

Some spam messages are automatically quarantined by the University mail server and won't get to your inbox or junk folder.  You should get daily emails listing messages that have been quarantined, but you can see these messages at any time by going to:

https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine

If you find a genuine message in quarantine, you can click the "Request Release" button to have it delivered to your inbox.

The UIS has published detailed instructions on how to use quarantine here:
