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.”
Fedora and other Linux PC's
Using the Gnome Desktop
This is for most users.
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.
