How about 'ssh -X yourhost'?  If you have X (whether you're on Win or Linux, 
or anything that sports an ssh client) then you have an X interface to the host.

In Linux you want 'ifconfig'.  'ipconfig' is a Windows program.

Of course if your machine is behind a firewall or router with NAT (network 
address translation), it will tell you only its local address (e.g., 
192.168.0.1), but then your firewall device will have the means to reveal its 
external IP address.
