try the following command on a terminal
"sudo hdclient"

if it doesn't work, append the following content to the file /etc/network/interfaces
#-----------------------
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#------------------------

Moreover, if you use wireless connection, replace the "eth0" with "wlan0"; if you have more than one adaptors and the one you refer to is the second one, then replace "eth0" with "eth1"; consequently, "wlan1" for the second wireless interface.

That was not my question :-) You can simply type ifconfig to retrieve your ip address or ifconfig eth0 to get only the one of the eth0 interface.

My question was how do I retrieve the ip address of the client using my webapp. But I think I figured it out, I just need to test:
InetAddress.getLocalHost();

Hm. InetAddress.getLocalHost() will give you the server IP address.
Have you tried the request.remoteAddress property ?

Hm, we still have a lot of work to do with docs ...
But you can find Javadoc API for the stable-3 release here
