how to get IP address (eth0)

Asked by patikal

I want to get the IP address of my machine (static LAN address configured for eth0) in java. The following code on Windows works, but not on UBUNTU. Any setup in UBUNTU needed?
String IpAddress = (InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress());

Hello Shankar..

In ubuntu you can find out IP Addresses using ifconfig command with grep and other filters..

Copy and paste the below in a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal)

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'

Regards

Hi, Thank you for the answer. Though it gives the required info, i wanted the same java code to work for both Windows and Unix. It is a customer requirement.
Hence need a different answer.
