How to find out your LAN IP address

Problem: 

I want to find out my local area network (LAN) IP address.

Solution:

For Windows

1. Open up a command prompt window via the start menu or by typing cmd into the search field in the start menu.
2. Type IPconfig and press enter.
3. Your LAN IP address is the value to the right of IPv4 Address (usually something like 192.168.1.x).

For Linux

1. Open up a terminal, either via the menu or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
2. Type IFconfig and press enter.
3. Your LAN IP address is the value to the right of inet addr: (usually something like 192.168.1.x).

That is how to find out your LAN IP address in Windows or Linux.
