On coyote, it'll look something like line 3:
$ ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:31:20:c2:5f:5e
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe81::231:19ff:fea1:4f4e/64 Scope:Link
...
But if in doubt, set it to something you like, then add it to /etc/hosts on
the others, I figure. (Haven't yet fussed with IPV6, myself.)

P.S. Yes, there's doubtless an "ip" way to show addresses too. BMG.
