How do i find my IP address in Linux

Diss · 2 May 2006 at 08:40

The reason for asking is i am trying to set up my router with my dual boot Ubuntu/WinXP system.

Does Linux use the same IP as windows? Probably not? Which is presumably why the specified ports with the winXP IP haven't opened in my Linux Azureus?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

hi again

its Ubuntu

I couldn't find a similar config file - however there is a gnome GUI where i can select my eth0 properties and that is just set to DHCP (which i assume assigns a different IP each time) - the following fields are blank:
IP
Subnet
Gateway

so presumably i can just fill these in with the desired values
