ifconfig problem

[ATIR350]

Sorry for asking such a stupid question

How do I check my ip under FC3? I've heard that I can check that by typing ifconfig in terminal, but it says command not found. Is there something that I have to install before using it?

ifconfig lives in /sbin/

Not sure why since you can run it fine as a normal user. /sbin is not a place that the shell looks for commands for a normal user, unless you add it yourself. You can run it either as root or by

/sbin/ifconfig

su - (with a dash)
ifconfig -a
lists then all

ifconfig ethX
or to see just one replace the X with your device ID either 0 or 1

you could also add /sbin to the PATH variable.....like this
PATH=$PATH:/sbin
