Need Linux help - It seemed like a good idea at the time

[color=#000000ost_uid0][iost_uid0]ifconfig[/iost_uid0] is what you're looking for. Needless to say you need to be root to do anything.

you'll get something like:
[code:1ost_uid0]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:62:E2:F3
inet addr:192.168.1.200 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

[/code:1ost_uid0]

In this case, [bost_uid0]eth0[/bost_uid0] has the appropriate information. More help requires more information.[/colorost_uid0]
