how do i get my internal network ip?

[speedy11309]

just like the title says. i dont want to get the one that is seen on the internet, just the one my router gives to my computer. i tried ifconfig, but that only gave me a 127 ip and not a 129 ip, which is what i need so i can port forward. thanks.

What does this mean? Can you post the output of ifconfig? What is a "129 ip"? You will always have a loopback interface (lo) which has the localhost IP (127.0.0.1); this is not what you are looking for. And hopefully you will have other real network interfaces (eth0, etc.) which will have IP addresses.

yeah i rebooted the thing 3 times then it finally changed the ip from 127.0.0.1 to 129.168.whatever. it was wierd. i dont really know how to explain it.

i got my pc setup this morning to connect online. i have ubuntu 6.06. anyway, i went into System, then Administration, then Network. click on Ethernet connection (which has a picture of a NIC next to it) that says The interface eth1 is active (or yours might show not configured). click on properties and it should say Connection Interface name: eth1 (or eth0). make sure "Enable this connection" box is checked.
under Connection settings, in the Configuration section, mine is set as Static IP address. in the IP address i set mine to 192.168.1.100 because this pc is my basestation in my network. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway address is 192.168.1.1.
try these settings. see if they work.
