networking help please. complete newbie :-)

Hi all,

I am trying to get my afore mentioned kubuntu box to talk to my xp
box.  I dont know what the linux box's ip address is, and I'm not sure
how to find it.  In XP I would use ipconfig from the command line, is
there a equivalent command for linux?

I am using a onboard lan on my linux box. I think I can ping my
windows box from linux, but can't do it the other way around.  All I
want to do is get the internet up and running.

I apologise for repeating a question that's (I'm sure) been asked many
times before.
