Setting up network details...

[Irving, Dave]

Just installed Fedora - and Im trying to get my network settings sorted out.
I've gone to the "Network Configuration" utility and set it up to use DHCP
to get me an IP.
First question: How do I find out what IP it's given me so I can reach my
box from other machines? (Playing around with ping will only give me
localhost.localdomain and 127.0.0.1).
Im also not able to ping external addresses currently. Is this related to
the Default Gateway? 
I've added the default gateway used by my XP box to my etc/sysconfig/network
file and rebooted, but I still cant ping machines outside my works network
(I can reach boxes within the network tho).
 
I've googled around a bit - but cant really find any guides for this (maybe
Im looking in the wrong places). If anyone knows of something I could read
to help get this sorted, or give me any advice it'd be most appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Dave
