How to know my ip address in network

getnetworkinfo will tell you the IP address of your node if it knows what it actually is (or thinks it knows). It will be in the localaddresses field. Note that it may not contain your IP address or have the right IP addresses as it is difficult to know what your IP address is unless someone external tells you what it is.
What I am trying to do is to connect to other node with -addnode, or -connect options, but the question is how to know other nodes address. Both nodes are mine. – Ashot Khachatryan – 2017-09-30T19:34:13.827

The node's IP address is the IP address of the machine it is running on. On that machine, you can go to a website like https://www.whatismyip.com/ to find your IP address.

Yes, you use their external IP addresses. Connecting them works in the same way that other nodes connect to your nodes. – Andrew Chow – 2017-09-30T19:46:06.277
Strange thing is that after addnode I am checking the status with getaddednodeinfo but 'connected' is always false. – Ashot Khachatryan – 2017-09-30T19:52:20.883
