Determine IP address of a VM Ware Player sessions running a Linux distribution

Recently, I started playing with VMWare Player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/). I do some work in Unix/Linux, but not a lot. I've always been able to do what I needed, however I couldn't remember what it took to determine what the IP address of machine was. The documentation said : "http://your.vm.ip.address/". Damn, how?

Hence this post,

Command line: ifconfig eth0
