If you want to know the IP address of your own box, the ifconfig command should
give it to you. Example:

bob@x31:~> ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:60:8F:1C:7A
          inet addr:192.168.0.227 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:368 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:301 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:177793 (173.6 KiB) TX bytes:63869 (62.3 KiB)

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
          RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:184 (184.0 b) TX bytes:184 (184.0 b)

From the above you can see that my IP address is 192.168.0.227

Hope I didn't misinterpret your question. Especially since this is my first post
on this list!

best regards,
Robert
