Forgotten how to do this - I know it's by typing something at the command prompt - but what????
ipconfig should do it
also, depends how you connect, chances are it'll show up in your modem settings/propertires if you're on adsl.

Do you have a static IP or is it changeable? With my provider there is a cheaper option where the IP is not static and I don't understand the
difference.

Ah - but is this my IP address or the IP address of my router?????
I need my computers IP address to sort out a Port problem with Emule.
ok, the link that hicost gave is your internet connection's ip address, but given that you're behind NAT (the router)
you need to use the command prompt and
ipconfig
which'll tell you
ip address (the local ip of your computer, will probably be 10.0.0.* or 192.168.0.*)
subnet mask (not much odds to you, but probably 255.0.0.0 or 255.255.0.0)
and default gateway, which is the ip of your router
it comes up 10.0.0.12, but when i did it earlier it was a 192. etc, so why is it different now??
hmm, very odd.
have you made any changes recently?
Only to the port details on my router at work, and I've come home and want to make the same changes here (different brand of router)
ahh, well if they're on different networks, that'll be it, it's just one of those things
Cheers mate
no probs, good luck and have fun 
We use internet connection sharing and mine is 192.168.0.1 and the one connected to it is 192.168.0.207. It uses mine as the default gateway, gives me
a feeling of power. How does it allocate the second number I wonder?
windows does it randomly pretty much.
if i'm using ICS i use 192.168.0.1 for server, and 0.2 for the client (set statically)
but if you can run to it, a router does the job so much better and it means you don't have to have the server and client on
All sorted now - cheers again.
quickest way for me is to look in the firewall log.
Microsoft ICS works well for some people but for some unknown reason sometimes just won't work on some setups. For anybody needing an
alternative FreeProxy is good and the Promitron pop up blocker filter proxy will work in this mode. Also Lansuite 603 will do it and gives lots of
extra features.
The long term answer is of course to get a ethernet ADSL Router modem with nats firewall built in -- this applies even for a single PC on ADSL
the connection is so much more reliable and gives instant internet no log on delay.
A 'special feature' of windows internet connection sharing is that if you switch it on it will quietly change you preconfigured IP address
to a 192.168.***.*** address......
If you use the built in ICS then you have to use this address range..

Previous post looks as if it contains dangerous link ---- the poster brand new user who has resurrected two ancient threads and posted links.
Jasper,
If you're allowing an incoming port, you need to give your PC a static/reserved IP address on the router so it always gets the same one.
Otherwise the reservation may timeout and you be allocated another from the pool.
To do this, you'll need to enter the MAC address of your PC somewhere into the router GUI (normally under DHCP settings)
MAC Address can also be seen from IPConfig command.
