my own ip

[zbobo]

what is the command to find the local ip adress and any other information?

[Stuart]

ifconfig
or /sbin/ifconfig

'ip address' command will give you the same information but in more friendly format so to speak. Works on RH, never tested it on other distros.

"ifconfig" will work on all distros. "ip address" doesn't work on Debian.

If you need it for specific NIC card, you can either do "ifconfig eth0" or "ifconfig eth1" or "ifconfig lo" depending on which interface you want to get info for.
