    For Linux or Unix users, to view their IP address or network  information, users must have administrator or root privileges. 

     
     
    1. Open the Linux or Unix shell  if you are utilizing a GUI interface for your Linux or Unix  machine.
     
    2. From the prompt, type  "ifconfig eth0"  (without the quotes) and press enter. This should give you a  listing of network information similar to what is seen below.
     
     

    eth0 	Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:72:EB:0A   	inet addr:10.10.10.2 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0   	UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1   	RX packets:5569799 errors:32 dropped:32 overruns:0 frame:6   	TX packets:3548292 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:3   	Collisions:14   	Interrupt:18 Base address:0xda00

     

    As seen from the above example, users will commonly see the  network settings for all their network devices when running the  "ifconfig" command. First in the above example we have the  network settings for the "lo" or "local  loopback", next is the actual network settings of your network  adapter.

    This information is the IP address of your computer   in your network. If you're computer is connected to the Internet the   IP address shown in this screen will more than likely not be   the IP address other people and web pages see. To determine this IP   address easily see the below online service section.
