Need To Know Your Current IP Address?

There are many reasons to need to know your current IP address. Your IP address is basically the current connection your computer has to the internet through your Internet Service Provider. Cable modems, Satellite Modems and other Lan connections all have a "static" ip, in other words, it is the same all the time. Other ISP's have dynamic ip's, meaning every time you dial up to your ISP the IP is different each time. It can be handy to have your IP for programs that enable you to allow others connect to your machine to upload or download software, or to be able to remotely work on your machine from another location through programs like PCanywhere.
