the commandyou want is ifconfig this will list the details of all your network interfaces. Probably the address you want is the second line down of etho starting inet addr:

Use these console Xterm commands to get the info you need
in my case the IP address is the one allocated to the wireless
card - wlan0

ipaddr ------- for all cards

If you use the ethernet setup wizard you will be able to create an address for Puppy.

Oce I have my ip address, how do I connect to the puppy machine from another computer? I have them connected via a network hub. The other computer is running Windows XP.

Thanks,

Your IP addresses must be the same (first 3 numbers), like 192.168.0.__ for Windows network, and must have the same Workgroup ID.

Then in Puppy, use Linneighborhood to browse the network - change its settings to the name of the Workgroup. Also set the mounting location (like /root/mnt ).

You will see shared directories in Windows. Right-click to mount, and put the file in the mounted directory.
