The IP address of my Linux box is automatically allocated by a router. When I'm on the Linux box, how do I find out what address has been allocated to it?

The commands I used to use on Solaris like /usr/sbin/ifconfig and /usr/sbin/ipconfig do not exist on Linux.

its /sbin/ifconfig on my box.

Also, normally "ifconfig" is not in the search path
( /sbin/ ) for regular users. Sometimes it cannot be run by non-root users. It depends upon the distro, but I assure you it's there....

Yes - it is there. /bin is the same as /usr/bin but /sbin is different from /usr/sbin. Guess it is live and learn.
