Exclamation 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.
