Yeah, I only noticed the title of the thread after posting. The body of
the OP's message didn't mention NAT at all.

Nonetheless the technique which you snipped is fairly useful for people
who need to determine the IP address of a machine where NAT is not a
consideration:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep -o "inet addr:[0-9\.]*" | sed 's/[^0-9\.]//g'
