  <title>Find your IP address</title>

  <p>Knowing your IP address can help you troubleshoot problems with your
  internet connection. You may be surprised to learn that you have <em>two</em>
  IP addresses: an IP address for your computer on the internal network and an
  IP address for your computer on the internet.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>Find your internal (network) IP address</title>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Network</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Network</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Choose which connection, <gui>Wi-Fi</gui> or <gui>Wired</gui>, from
      the left pane.</p>
      <p>The IP address for a wired connection will be displayed on the
      right.</p>
      
      <p>Click the
      <media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system.png"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media>
      button to see the IP address for the wireless network in the
      <gui>Details</gui> panel.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <steps>
  	<title>Find your external (internet) IP address</title>
    <item>
      <p>Visit
      <link href="http://whatismyipaddress.com/">whatismyipaddress.com</link>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>The site will display your external IP address for you.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>Depending on how your computer connects to the internet, both of these
  addresses may be the same.</p>
