There are different ways to get it

1.) Press Right-Button on the NetworkManager (the symbol with the 2 Displays upon right) and Click then Connection Information.

2.) Open a Terminal and type: ifconfig (maybe you have more than one Networkdevice). You will got an Output like this:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:18:8b:a2:35:51
          inet Adresse:192.168.2.100 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Maske:255.255.255.0
          inet6-Adresse: fe80::218:8bff:fea2:3551/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metrik:1
          RX packets:43286364 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:47865385 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000
          RX bytes:1801368790 (1.6 GB) TX bytes:621318560 (592.5 MB)
          Interrupt:17

The inet-Adress is your LAN-IP Adress, the Adress you got inside your local Network. In this case it is 192.168.2.100

When you need your external IP, you have to check your Router / DSL Modem, they got dynamic IP-Adresses from the Provider which change once in 24h (ADSL)

ifconfig is linux only, for windows you need to use ipconfig...
