how to get ip address of a PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) network interface?
- by Xsmael
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 :

w1g1 is connected to a modem by an RJ45<-Serial cable and the modem is connected to the phone line. The modem is a NOKIA DNT2Mi you can see it here
