This is rather a basic question, but how do I find the IP address of my computer?

Thanks

It's a total mystery. All I want to know is the IP Address of my MacBook so that I can connect to it from my MacPro.

Couple of ways:

System Profiler/Network or
System Preferences/Network

Both display your Mac's IP address.

Alternative you can open up Terminal and type ifconfig

Look for en0, and there's a section marked inet. Next to that is your IP address.

en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULT ICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::223:32ff:fe91:7b1a%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
inet 10.57.5.104 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.57.5.255

ah, sorry, I had misread your post… well, there is also a small and free app aimed to connect to local computer via ScreenSharing but it may help you since it shows the IP of any given computer in your local network.
