Find Your IP Address

Knowing your IP address is useful for networking, troubleshooting, and server configuration.

Step 1: Open terminal

Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal.

Display detailed network interface information:

bash

ip addr show

This shows all network interfaces with their IP addresses, MAC addresses, and status.

Get just your IPv4 address in a simple format:

bash

hostname -I

This command shows all IPv4 addresses assigned to your system.

Test your internet connection:

bash

ping google.com -c 4

The -c 4 flag sends exactly 4 ping packets and then stops.

bash

ip addr show eth0

bash

curl ifconfig.me

bash

ip route show

bash

nslookup google.com

bash

ss -tuln

bash

ip link show

bash

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

bash

cat /etc/resolv.conf

bash

ping 127.0.0.1

bash

cat /etc/network/interfaces

bash

ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
