Hi frnds...!...

Open a terminal window so that you can type commands that are not on a menu. If you already have a terminal window open, skip to Step 5. Otherwise, click on the desktop background (not on any application).
The top menu bar should now say "Finder"; click on Go -> applications
On the applications menu, click on Utilities to open the set of commands that are on the Utilties submenu.
Under the Utilities folder, click on Terminal.
In the terminal window, type "ifconfig" then hit return.
In the output, there will be lines that include inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast a.b.c.d
The IP address of the interface is the four numbers denoted by x.x.x.x in the lines described above.
There may be a line that says inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 This is the loopback interface, and always uses the IP address 127.0.0.1 [i]
