Finding my WLAN IP address.

[Dotan Cohen]

I know to find my public IP address from http://simplesniff.com but
how can I check my WLAN IP address? On this particular WLAN all
clients start with 192.xx.xx.xx however I don't see that number
anywhere:

I most certain am connected (I'm posting this, right?), but why can't
I find the address? Thanks in advance.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
