Typing 'ifconfig' at the terminal should give you the details.

You don't have to be root to use ifconfig. As a regular user you type:

/sbin/ifconfig

Microsoft.com does not help with Linux answers, and Linuxquestions.org does not help with Windows answers. A terminal is the same as a command prompt. In Linux you can get one with a terminal program in KDE or gnome, of by CTRL+ALT+F1, F2, F3, and so on. To get back to the desktop: CTRL+ALT+F7. You sound like English isn't your native language, and perhaps you aren't familiar with how to ask a question.
