external IP addresses

[sycncs_1]

hi everyone

how do i find out the external IP address of a SunOS box? pls advice..thanks!

[Ng Oon Tian]

Have u tried nslookup (assuming you know the hostname) or ifconfig (assuming you have access to the box?

Not sure if the question belongs here :)

nslookup only shows internal address.
ifconfig is an invalid command.

i need more inputs pls..thanks in advance.

use netstat -i to list all the IP address assigned to all interfaces on that server or use ifconfig -a
And for your information both the commands are valid on Sun Solaris. If its not working for you probably you have got wrong path

i usually do a

cat /etc/hosts | grep EXTERNAL

this is just for a listing not an actual setting though
