All commands must be entered as root.

ifconfig

Look for the eth0 line. eth0 is your first ethernet device. The second line down from eth0 you will see:

inet addr:your.ip.address.here

If your using adsl you may have something like ppp0 instead of eth0 in either case you will still want to look at the inet line. You should also see a lo line. That's your loopback interface with and inet addr of 127.0.0.1. Pay no attention to that one for the moment it has little to do with what you're wanting to know.


as far as renewing and releasing your IP try doing a man on dhcpcd, from the prompt type:

man dhcpcd

that should give you plenty to look at.

When I need to get a new address from the dhcp server I just type this command:

dhcpcd -n eth0

Hope that helps.
