Created page with "What is an IP Address? = Android = Pull down from the top of the screen to reveal the Settings “gear wheel” icon, and tap it. Under “About Phone” (or “About T..."

New page

[[What is an IP Address?]]

= Android =

Pull down from the top of the screen to reveal the Settings “gear wheel” icon, and tap it.

Under “About Phone” (or “About Tablet,” “About Device”) touch “Status.” You may need to scroll down to find this. (On some phones, particularly Samsung, you may have to switch “tabs” to find this.)

Touch “IP Address.”

== Using the Gnome Desktop ==

This is for most users.

=== From the corner status menu ===

On the black bar at the top of the screen, click or tap the top-right corner, where the volume icon and other status icons appear, to show the controls pull-down.

At the bottom of this menu/box, click/tap the settings icon (that looks like a wrench/spanner and screwdriver, crossed) — this is usually the leftmost icon.

The “All Settings” window will appear. Under the “Hardware” heading (the second group), click or tap “Network.”

=== Or, From the Activities Overview ===

Access the Activities Overview by tapping or clicking on the word “Activities” in the top-left corner of the screen, or by pushing your mouse pointer “into the corner” beside it, or by pressing the “Super” key on your keyboard. (''Super'' is usually marked with a logo, and found between ''Control'' and ''Alt'' beside the Space bar.)

In the Activities Overview, type “network.” A large Settings icon (a crossed screwdriver and spanner/wrench) will appear, and beside it, a network icon (a group of several computer screens) with the label “Network: Control how you connect to the Internet.” Tap or click on this icon or label.

=== In the Network Settings Window ===

On the left side, touch your active network connection (for example, Wi-Fi, Wired, or Mobile connection).

For a Wired or Mobile connection, your IP address(es) will now appear on the right-hand side.

For Wi-Fi, a list of hotspots will appear. Next to your currently-active hotspot will be a round “gear” icon button. Click or tap it to reveal your address.

		+	== Using Alternative Desktop Systems ==
		+
		+	If you use an alternative interface, you may not have easy access to the above settings. You may find a “Network” icon somewhere in your desktop's menu, possibly under a “Settings” or “System” menu. You may want to refer to your manual.
		+
		+	== Using a Terminal ==
		+
		+	To obtain a Terminal window, in Gnome, access the Activities Overview and type “terminal,” then click the Terminal icon.
		+
		+	In other desktop environments … refer to your manual if you're not sure how to reach a terminal.
		+
		+	In the terminal window, you should see a prompt, probably ending with a $ symbol.
		+
		+	Type the following:
		+
		+	ip address show scope global up
		+
		+	Most commonly you will see only your active Internet connected device listed, but if you use virtual hosts (eg, in ''Boxes'') or Docker, you may see several “internal” connections.
		+
		+	Ignore any connection with a name beginning “vir” (for “virtual”) or “docker.”
		+
		+	Wired connections typically have names beginning “en” (for “Ethernet”), while Wi-Fi connection names typically begin with “wl” (for “Wireless”).
		+
		+	The “inet6” will list any IPv6 address for an interface. The “inet” line will list any legacy IPv4 address for an interface. In either case, the address ends at the “/”
		+
		+	Example:
		+
		+	inet 1.2.3.4/24
		+
		+	This is an IPv4 address, ::ffff:1.2.3.4 (all v4 addresses have an “invisible” ::ffff: to their left)
		+
		+	inet6 fe80::36e6:d4ff:ff5c:7281/64
		+
		+	This is an IPv6 address, fe80::36e6:d4ff:ff5c:7281
