Hi Edgar, your system answer correctly, in Unix/Linux each network
interface has an IP address. This is the ifconfig output on my Linux
server:

[arrigo at aleph ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig

As you can see there are many eth interface with its IP address and at
least the localhost 127.0.0.1. Maybe you have to change your request
and ask for a specific interface.

Best Regards
