I have a Linux machine with two network interfaces, and I'd like to get the IP address of the PPP interface w1g1
but it doesn't show up in ifconfig
. There is a public IP on the PPP interface, but there is no internet connection, I'm trying to troubleshoot but I need to get the IP address of the interface and I can't.
ifconfig
:
