How to find out the ipaddress?

DineshV · #1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2008

Hi Friends,

I am new to UNIX. I wonder how can I get the ipaddress of my machine? In windows, i can use ipconfig to get my ipaddress. I am aware of ifconfig but it does not give the ipaddress.

Thanks and regards,
Dinesh Venkatesan.

/usr/sbin/ping `hostname`

I'm eagerly waiting to learn better ways in this thread

Try ifconfig -a

Hi,
Then try one of these

Code:

$ cat /etc/hosts
$ more /etc/hosts
$ vi /etc/hosts
