What command do I want to issue when I want to know the IP address of the Solaris machine I'm logged onto?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

A:
If you're a normal user (i.e., not 'root') ifconfig isn't in your path, but it's the command you want.
More specifically: /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a

Of course, there may be many interfaces on the box, each with its own IP.

Sure. You'll generally have at least two -- the local loopback (lo0) and one or more ethernet connections (on my machine, ce0).

A:
/usr/sbin/host `hostname`
should do the trick. Bear in mind that it's a pretty common configuration for a solaris box to have several IP addresses, though, in which case
/usr/sbin/ifconfig -a inet | awk '/inet/ {print $2}'
will list them all

A:
hostname and uname will give you the name of the host. Then use nslookup to translate that to an IP address.
