Hi,

My requirement is the command below

export DISPLAY=<IP Address>:0.0

I have to set the IP Address to local windows environment while
connecting remotely to UNIX box.

I am aware that I can get the IP address of local machine using
ipconfig command from windows or using nslookup from unix box......

Since I am too lazy....is there a way to type some generic command on
unix to get the IP address of local machine from which I connect to
UNIX box?
