<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>
<item>
<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 left pane,
according to the network connection whose IP address you want.</p>
<p>The IP address for a wired connection will be displayed on the
right.</p>
<p>Click the
<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system.png"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media>
button to see the <gui>Details</gui> for the wireless network.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<steps>
<title>Find your external (internet) IP address</title>
<item>

addresses may be the same.</p>
