Here’s a quick tip for those of you looking to find your LOCAL (as in within your network) IP address. In Windows, you would simply issue the following command from the command prompt (Start > Run > “cmd”)
ipconfig
Which would yield something similar to the following results.
U:\>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : mshome.net IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 177.21.101.137 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 177.21.101.1
From a Linux shell, you would issue the following:
ifconfig
Which would yield something similar to the following results
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:91:04:07 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:eaff:fe91:407/64 Scope: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:31167 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:26404 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:38338591 (36.5 MiB) TX bytes:3538152 (3.3 MiB) Interrupt:18 Base address:0xc000

how do you find you local ip address ??
Your “Black box” it’s a router. His IP adress it’s called “Gateway” and his default Gateway is 192.168.1.1 😉
i have been pleased after reading this blog the knowledge which has been provided via this blog is simply tremendous.
i really appreciate the blogger for doing this work.
I had another method in mind along with using IP checking tools like IP Elk but this clearly is a new and improved idea for me. Will definitely take a deeper look at this so Bookmarked for now.
Thanks and Regards,
Dev
my cmd prompt doesnt show the default gateway..what should i do
Is it the same as IPv4 address?
Default gateway =/= IP
