type in terminal :

ifconfig, and some information will be available about your network.

If your are behind a firewall or proxy, a private ip is assigned to you which will start with 10, 172 or 192.

It is a way to check if your firewall or proxy setup works as expected.

UPDATE :
ip address as an alternative.

I seem to have several IP addresses, depending on what tool I ask. How do I tell which IP address to use when setting up P2P VOIP?

For your external ip you can always query http://icanhazip.com/ like puppy does.

But some people don't like that....

If one doesn't like icanhazip, one can always try http://ipinfodb.com/
