Determine IP address on machine

Hi ,

What is the best way to determine the IP address of a machine ? I have
to parse the IP and assign it to a variable using a script .

Thanks,
Sandeep.

Here's my script for getting the "inside" and
the "outside" IP addy's for the machines on my SOHO
LAN.
:
|#!/bin/sh
|echo -n ' PC ip: ' && /sbin/ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:' | \
| grep -v '127.0.0.' | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1
|echo -n 'Net ip: ' && \
| wget -O- http://cfaj.freeshell.org/ipaddr.cgi 2>/dev/null

It's not original by me. I pieced it together from the contents of many
other postings I slogged through via groups.google.com.

HTH, but YMMV

You have to understand what you want to do.
You might have several ip addresses on your box ( typically if you have
several network cards ).
ifconfig
or ifconfig <interface name> is of help theree


Then if are NAT-ed maybe you need in fact to know your NAT ip address?

Curious, is there a special reason for using a fresh google throw
away account though an open proxy?
