Open the Activities overview and start typing Network.
Click on Network to open the panel.
Choose which connection, Wi-Fi or Wired, from the left pane.
The IP address for a wired connection will be displayed on the right.
Click the
button to see the IP address for the wireless network in the

Depending on how your computer connects to the internet, both of these addresses may be the same.
