recently i installed Ubuntu to my computer, and I'm facing a problem that i can't find answer in Google, when i write ifconfig in the terminal it shows my inet ip address as 10.0.0.15 instead of a normal ip address look here

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 3c:a0:67:35:9e:ee  
      inet addr:10.0.0.15  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
      inet6 addr: fe80::3ea0:67ff:fe35:9eee/64 Scope:Link

    Please copy-and-paste text instead of linking to screenshots. What makes you believe the IP address is incorrect? – user535733 Dec 23 '17 at 20:26
  • Edited, because an ipv4 address should appear without the 0.0 in the middle, right? – Ziroff Dec 23 '17 at 20:31
  • Not necessarily, what are the IP addresses for other devices on the same network; phones, iPads, Windows computers, etc.? – chili555 Dec 23 '17 at 20:58
  • on my phone, the ip address is 10.0.0.2 but that's the local ip, im searching for my external ip on the computer @chili555 – Ziroff Dec 23 '17 at 21:18
  • 10.0.0.15 seems normal for a small private LAN connected to the public internet by a router. On most small networks, your computer only knows the LAN IP it is assigned by the router (or equivalent). Everything on the LAN side of the router shares the same public IP address. To learn the public IP address, you must ask the router or an external site. Why is the IP address important? Is there a problem? – user535733 Dec 23 '17 at 21:52

  • Your readings above look perfectly normal. Is there some other problem that you are trying to solve? – chili555 Dec 23 '17 at 22:23
