One way is as follows. Open a terminal window, by clicking Applications->Accessories->Terminal. Then at the flashing command prompt, type the command below followed by Enter:

ifconfig

This will print your network configuration parameters, including your assigned IP address. Entries for "eth0" relate to your ethernet network card, entries for "wlan0" relate to your wireless network card. The entry " inet addr:" is where your IP address is listed.

There's probably also ways using the GUI menu's to get this information but I cannot offhand remember the details and I'm not close to an Ubuntu box to check at the minute.
