You mean what IP address your computer has when it's sharing the wifi
network?  Do you want to know your internet-visible address of your
primary internet connection, or the private address of your computer on
the shared network?  Think of it like a bridge; one side is the
internet, the other side is where your other computers connect, and your
computer moves the traffic across the bridge.  Which side do you want
the IP address of?

I think for *either* one, if you right-click on the applet and choose
Connection Information, it'll tell you there.  The one shown as
"(Default)" is your internet connection, the other one is your shared
wifi network.

Alternatively, you can run "nm-tool" from a terminal and it'll print out
addresses there too.
