I need to know which IP address I was using two days ago. Is there any log file in OS X that contains this information?
Update: And Chrome for Mac could store this information somewhere?

It's too late for you now, but you can get it to start logging things like this by running…
sudo ipconfig setverbose 1
…at every boot.
Then you can search for "network changed" in the All Messages ASL log stream in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
, or in /var/log/system.log[.#.gz]
, or in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/com.apple.networking.IPConfiguration.log.[SomeDateString[.gz]]
From the possible duplicate:
Your modem/router might keep logs on which IP the DSL was registered to. Usually the modem's logs/UI is accessible by navigating to its IP through your browser.
My modem keeps a firewall log. You may be able to look at your modem to find out source/destination addresses and see it there.
