+#### The 'ip' segment
+
+This segment shows you your current internal IP address. It tries to examine
+all currently used network interfaces and prints the first address it finds.
+In the case that this is not the right IP address you can specify the correct

 #### The 'time' segment
 
 By default the time is show in 'H:M:S' format. If you want to change it,
