How do I find my own IP address?

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

I can't remember if this is the right thread :-)

I couldn't connect with ex11 to the X server, and I think I found the cause. If
$DISPLAY refers to localhost or 127.0.0.1, then ex11 first resolves the local
host name, which is then used to look for a cookie.

This means that it isn't enough to have a xauth cookie for localhost:0 or
127.0.0.1:0, but it needs one for "inet:gethostname()":0. Which isn't quite
proper, I think.

regards,
Vlad
