checking ip address in osx

thanks that is an interesting website but what i am trying to find out concerns troubleshooting with a pc if someone cannot surf i have them go to a dos prompt and type ipconfig and i find out whether they have the correct ip address subnet mask and default gateway for the network. with windows often people get an autoconfigutation ip address showing a problem on the network. i am trying to learn more about these thing with a mac thanks

ah the internal IP...

Open up the terminal and type in ifconfig

It should come up with all the information for that particular computer.

if you want, you can also go to system preference, then go to network, and look at network status...

thanks guys
