Finding Local network IP address.
How can I find my "Local" IP address in Linux? Not "Public" IP address but my computer's IP address on my home network.
Thanks,

Try
PHP Code:
fgrep `hostname` /etc/hosts
And why does ifconfig not work? What does it say? |

At the command line type " redhat-config-network " this GUI will present you with your network parameters. Also you could read the configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
