Ifconfig command in Adb shell

[Joe Petruchi]

Is the if config command working in Android emulator or target ?

 

When i type ifconfig inside the shell of the emulator using adb it doesnot show any network Interface ?

 

My Android based phone also doesnot shows any output for ifconfig eventhough it has a GPRS connection over which it sends and receives data for browser application ?

 

Does anybody knows why the ifconfig command is not working or is there any alternate method to know the network interfaces and their IP address ?

 

Thanks

Joe

Android ifconfig has very limited functionality.
To check interfaces you can use 'netcfg' command.

Thanks a lot all

netcfg works fine for me. it displays all the interfaces

The android version of ifconfig is not standard linux. Try netcfg
