Answer 1

honestly, i went to this question to find the answer to the question, and ended up figuring it out myself...

go to the apple in the upper left hand corner

then about this mac

then more info

then on the left hand corner go to network

and you should find your ip there

Answer 2

Go under the Apple in the top left hand corner. Then click on Location, then go to Network preferences, then click on Configure. Good luck and get the Mac for Dummies book. I use it all the time.

Answer 3

do ifconfig in MAC

Answer 4

In Applications/Utilities/ there is an app called Network Utility.

Ping, NetStat, Lookup, Traceroute and more to your heart's content with that.

If you prefer to do it with a command line, in the same directory is Terminal.app. It's UNIX not DOS though.
