Here is a good fast site that gives you your IP address.
http://www.whatismyip.com/
Wish I knew how they did it.
In my case, it is a roadrunner isp that gives me a dynamic address.
I'm sitting behind a router and it lots of trouble to look it up and
so much easier using the above site.
The address is not very dynamic though. I've had the same address
since installing about 6 months ago. I suppose that is a good thing.
