Go to Google.com and type What's my IP. It'll take you to a site that will tell you what it is. Do this before you start a game. Your IP address may change depending on your ISP. So you might want to get in the habit of checking it before you start any game.

Hope that helps

Isn't there a Run command which you can use?
i tried http://www.ipchicken.com and http://www.whatismyip.com and when my mates tried to join they had no luck, everytime i visit these sites they always give me the exact ip address.

I think my ip changes all the numbers every soo often, I know some change a few numbers but I think my whole ip is changed every day.
