UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

how can i find my own ip address from unix. command like who -x .this would provide all the ip address but i need to list only current user ip address. who am i command does not display the ip.

You can know the IP address of your machine typing:

Code:

ifconfig -a

its displaying the server ip address and the loopback ip 127.0.0.1 What I want is my pc ip address. I'm logging to the server via my PC using Alphacom. what actually i am trying is to forward users report to their pcs .They can view the report and print but they cant have a soft copy downloaded from the server to their pcs.

I think you are typing the command when you're logged into the server. Just type it from your local machine, that will be enough.

my local machine is a windows pc. and how can i type unix commands without login to unix server

OK, then just do this:
Start > Run... then type:

Code:

cmd

And at the command line:

Code:

ipconfig

It will be enough with this, surely!

you didn't understand me sorry. from windows end I can check my ip address in so many ways. what i am saying is from unix box. *******step 1 i am logging to sco box from my pc. step two --any command that provide me the ip address of my pc in sco box. the nearest command i know is who -x (unix command).
