Hi Michael, Woody, and others. To find your local IP address through terminal, try typing (or copying and pasting):
ifconfig -a | grep broadcast | say and check the address just after the first word "inet" to repeat the command, try using your up arrow. (I think this should work for the default shell, which is bash; I've truncated the query to only check your wireless broadcast address, since I think you said you were using wifi, and I piped the output of the query to the "say" command) More generally, you can do this through the Systems Preferences menu. Use item chooser (VO-keys+i) to select "Sharing" button. VO-keys+space to press. If you've set up your mac to permit remote login and want to find the IP address, you can select the services tab. Tab into the list of services and interact, Select the service you want to check, for example, "Personal File Sharing" or "Remote Login", "FTP access" or other checked item. Then tab 3 times and you'll hear, a message on how to access the service that includes giving the IP address.
