Assume I am connected to an inhouse-LAN and my local Linux system has a dynamic IP
which is assigned by a DHCP server at the start of the session.

How do I find out my current, dynamic IP?

Terminal session:

ifconfig

Ubuntu:

System --> Administration --> Network Tools --> Network Device

Are you looking to find out your internal IP on the WAN/LAN, or your
external IP (what a site on the Internet would see you connecting
from)? Anyway, look at running ifconfig.

"/sbin/ifconfig" with any options is entirely sufficient; no "sudo || su" is
required.
