A couple of ways:
On the Linux machine use the ifconfig command, or open its network
status application (I don't care for Ubuntu so I'm not sure where in
the GUI you'd find the IP)
on the router have a look at your dhcp table and see what IP it got
assigned

Hi,
Is there a command to find the IP address?

Sounds like your router isn't providing a host table or a local
nameserver if you can't specify the name of the linux computer. Try
the IP address in that case, or have a look at your router settings.

What exactly are you trying to connect to? Your local host,
another computer, a hosted virtual machine?

Hi,
I also tried that and got the same error.

Try without the .local. Use the hostname command to tell
exactly what your computer is known as. I'm not sure where
this .local or .wan comes from when you set up sharing, as that
is never part of your hostname. Your hostname is exactly what
you entered in the computer name field, nothing more or less.

Hi,
All,
I can't connect to my server with the hostname "golden-
retriever.local" from Terminal. The error is "Cannot resolve
hostname golden-retriever.local not know"
Thanks if anyone has an answer.
