Network Tasks
Determining IP Address of Local Machine
On your laptop at home, do:
estrella.sfsu.edu:home% ifconfig -a
Get a bunch of entries. Local machine is the one with
BROADCAST
somewhere in it. The number XXX.XXX.XXX.XX next to
inet
is the IP address of local machine. Alternatively, put the following alias in .cshrc or .local
alias myinet 'ifconfig -a | grep -w inet | grep -v " 127" | awk "{print \$2}"'
and call it from the command line.
