I completely restarted and erased everything on my computer and I’ve lost my I.P. address so I cannot connect my computer to my homes wireless internet network. How do I find it? It has to be somewhere on my computer correct?

The IP adress is a unique number the computer receives from the server to which is connected to. It's either static, meaning it doesn't change each time you connect to the internet or dynamic, when the server allocates a different IP number each time to log in your current network.
Contact your internet provider!

Viewing Your Computer’s IP Information
Begin by first clicking on the Start Button.
Then click on the Run Icon, which will open up the Run Menu for you.
Locate the white area of the screen next to the word Open: in the Run Menu.
Now type in the word COMMAND and click on the OK button at the bottom of the screen.
For Windows XP, you can also type in the word CMD and then click on the OK button.
This will launch the Window’s DOS Prompt Command Window for you.
Now using your keyboard, type IPCONFIG /ALL and press the Enter key.
Windows will now display the IP Configuration Information for your computer.
When finished, simply close the Command Prompt window to return back to Windows.

In windows, go to start - run and type cmd and press enter
once the command prompt comes up, type ipconfig and press enter.
This will give you your ip address.

well it depends on what sort of router u have, eg should be 192.168.1.1 if its netgear, but on your wirless software it should show your SSID just double click on it, add the wpa/passphrase and that should get an ip address and connection.

Try the following commands in the DOS command prompt:
ipconfig
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew.
If that doesn't work, then try to re-set up your router.
