how to find my IP?

is there a way to figure out my IP on my linux box? i'm going to attempt to install apache on this bad boy =)

would you believe me if i said no?

i hope not, as there are loads of ways, e.g. running "/sbin/ifconfig"

lol... no i wouldn't believe u... but i thought about such SMARTASS remarks when i wrote the question.. thanks for the info, though! =)

Hmm ....

Your remark about runing apache makes me think you
are looking for your "external" internet ip address.

In that case there are also "loads of ways"

Here's one:
fire up your web browser and point it to

Are you using DHCP.Are you using a Modem.Do you have a static address.

i'm currently DHCP right now.. i just need to play around apache to make sure it works w/ mysql(which i've yet to build and i wish firebird was more popular) server... once i'm comfortable about the security/performance.. then i have to install something like cpanel but not cpanel(a cheaper solution i hope- dreamhost perhaps?) to do some linux hosting... so i can just add accounts/domains in a few clicks and my customer gets an account immediately to play with... hope this journey will be a painless one...

Could always go to your modem's cfg page....motorola cable modems have one...it will show your ip as well.
Of course going to your router's page will show it too.
