ip address question

[macstl]

What command do I use to find addresses for DNS Gateway DHCP local ipaddress? Like in windows when you use ipconfig -all it shows all this stuff.

[uRock]

ifconfig

will show the local IP, but not the DNS.

I know if you install curl you can run

curl ifconfig.me

And get the Internet ip address you're using.

There are other elaborate ways such as the site checkip.

But, yes as per the thread ifconfig is the linux equivalent of ipconfig.

Curl worked for me ok. what shows the ip for dhcp server and gateway ip?

[deadflowr]

You can try

nm-tool

Which should at least list the gateway address.

[steeldriver]

With recent version of the network-manager package, you also get 'nmcli' - which goes a bit deeper than nm-tool e.g.

nmcli dev list

nmcli dev list iface wlan0

nmcli dev list | grep '^IP\|^DHCP'

curl ifcongfig.me yields XX.XX.XX.XX
ifconfig is 192.168..1.70
is the XX.XX.XX.XX my external gatway ip address?

[tripp98]

yes that is your external IP.

if you are using ubuntu(unity) at the clock at top right click on network icon at the bottom 2nd from bottom is the connection information. will show you the gateway and dns servers.

You're on the right track. I've edited out the public IP address to help avoid attacks by bots.
