What's my IP address - solved

[ICanoe2]

Sorry if I am duplicating a question however I was unable to find the answer in a search.
I want to share files with my XP machine which is connected via a router. Seeing the files on my XP machine from puppy is no problem but I don't know how to find my puppypc IP address to see my puppy from XP.
Help please.

check the above - there is also a cli method which I forget . . .

Perhaps this was what you had in mind ?

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

However, if you wish to share files - Plse see recent posts on that topic:

ifconfig tells you from the command-line, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results.

ifconfig
in the command line will give you something like this:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# ifconfig

Problem w/that: The router is only the "gateway" - the box is hidden behind it -as it's true web address is static if not connecting directly to that I.P .
(Even there, a few internet providers will supply a static numerical address.

The Router resolves DNS for any attached to it .

Lan setup requires second NIC , IIRC, one of which will have eth1 aliased (static)
Any number of eth configurations may be used at same time.

Normally, /etc/dhcp/(net folders) have configs (dhclient.conf/dhcpcd.conf)

And /etc/conf.d contains /net . The configuration run by init.d for run levels

Thanks, ifconfig was what I was looking for.
I had the DOS command ipconfig in my head.
Those internet sites only show the IP of my router.

OUR PLEASURE to ASSIST

On a personal note : Whenever I (infrequently) am in a Winxx shell (on daughter's 'puter)
Always feel crippled at lack of CLI tools.
One is netstat -a

As to trying to help on Forums - often it is of great benefit to own use = Since it not only confirms shaky beliefs were somewhat accurate -
But much is learned while researching problems .... never encountered if only own interests. are pursued. ?

Best wishes to all
