I've tried using ifconfig but I have no access to ROOT user.

Another way?

Thanks,

Try /sbin/ifconfig

That should do it.

as someone else said /sbin/ifconfig will work, but for
another way: grep IPADDR /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info

That way makes a BIG assumption that the machine is using DHCP to get it's
IP address... Wont' work on a machine configured for a static IP (like
all of mine, for example).

So far we have /sbin/ifconfig and /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info.

Here are some other places to look
- /etc/hosts
- x=`uname -n`; ping $x
- `netstat --inet`
- /proc/net/tcp (note the byte order may not be what you expect)

Or even more simple:

ping `uname -n`

huh wouldn't that just ping the loopback interface ?

Hallo, jaisol,

Do you mean that IP address which is shown to users from outside?

Try

lynx myip.dk

or

lynx myip.nl

Or do you mean the IP address which is used in the LAN?

Here's another one, albeit less "standard":

$ resolveip -s `hostname`
192.168.1.2

resolveip is a util packaged with mysql; never heard of it until now.
