Linux

If your server is running on Linux, to know your server's IP address just type the following in a terminal:

root@server:~# ifconfig eth0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr d0:67:e5:52:d2:d3  
          inet addr:192.168.1.115  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX byte

Replace eth0 for your network interface. In this example, the IP address is 192.168.1.115
