</div>ifconfig will show you all addresses on an interface - including IPv6<br>
addresses. You should be seeing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If you are<br>
offline you may not be seeing any IPv4 addresses, but IPv6 will at very<br>
least have a link local address on every interface that is up. A better<br>
program for looking at your network configuration is probably the "ip"<br>
program.<br>
<br>
See only IPv6 addresses:<br>
ip -6 addr show<br>
<br>
See only IPv4 addresses:<br>
ip -4 addr show<br>
<br>
Look at "man ip" for more options (there are a great many).<br>
