Why? Lots of people have told you how to do this for yourself. But I'm wondering: if your plan is to do some action automatically upon receiving the address, you might want to look at /sbin/dhclient-script. I may be recalling incorrectly, but I think that the IP is passed in as a command-line argument when this script is executed. - Andrew
