Getting the internal IP of your router

ifconfig is good for finding your internal IP number and other information, but to set up port forwarding you need to find your router internal IP number.

If you see an IP number that is referred to as "default gateway" or just "gateway," that's your router's IP number.

If you're connected by ethernet, you can find that number using the following command:

$ nmcli dev list iface eth0 | grep IP4

See askUbuntu.

Okay, I just found a better way for out-of-the-box ubuntu on sudo juice:
$ nm-tool

This will give you your router IP, which it calls "Gateway."
