<title>Find your IP address</title>
<p>Knowing your IP address can help you troubleshoot problems with your
internet connection. You may be surprised to learn that you have <em>two</em>
IP addresses: an IP address for your computer on the internal network and an
IP address for your computer on the internet.</p>
<steps>
<title>Find your internal (network) IP address</title>

<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Network</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Network</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <gui>Wi-Fi</gui> or <gui>Wired</gui> from the list on the left,
depending on which network connection you want to find the IP address
for.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>You will see the IP address for a wired connection on the right, or
open the connection details by pressing on the
<gui style="button"><media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system-symbolic.svg" width="16" height="16"><span its:translate="yes">details</span></media></gui>
button to see the <gui>Details</gui> for wireless network.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<steps>
<title>Find your external (internet) IP address</title>

addresses may be the same.</p>
