Go ahead and use 192.168.1.1-254 or 10.1.10.1-254 in your pc to pc connection. BTW...You can not use .255 as the client because it is a broadcast address.
The 192.168.1 and 10.1.10. networks are considered to be in private ip ranges. No web sites will ever use those ip ranges.
Set your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
That is a Class C subnet mask. It tells the computer that 192.168.1 or 10.1.10 is the network and that the last number only is the client.
If you are connecting two computers directly together make sure that you use a cross over cable and that you have them both on the same network, with different client addresses.
The private ip ranges are as follows
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
But just do what I said so you dont get confused. And dont use 165.165.165.165
It is not in a private ip range. If you were to connect your computers to the internet using those addresses you will have problems.

I think you mean the network POP and other server information. This can be provided by your internet service provider. The IP ady for your pc can be found by going to start run type in cmd or command, get IP and it will then give you your IP, subnet mask, and default gateway. If networking pc to pc via direct connection, add IP to each pc as I suggested before and remember to change share setting in each system as well as firewall settings so you are not blocking yourself. Hope this helps.

If your computer network has a router, your computer will have two IP addresses. One will be a "private" address, assigned by your router and only available within your local network. The other will actually be the IP address of the router.
Your router does all the talking to the Internet, so it is the device which actually has the "public" IP address. The router forwards all your request to the Internet using its address, and sends back any replies to you.
You set up your "private" IP address by setting a range within the router. There are certain ranges set aside for "private" usage. This prevents a "public" IP address that is identical being issued. For home networks, it is recommended that you use the range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255.

It is the same technology, only different addresses for different devices. eg. your Network card will have a different IP address from your router, and also different from your modem.
When you set up a LAN, and want to use your own IP address, it does not matter what you use as long as both pc's are in the same range. eg:
1st pc: 165.165.165.165
2nd pc: 165.165.165.166
3d pc: 165.165.165.167
then your subnet mask is also important. Always make it 255.255.255.0

Huh? IP addresses are IP addresses.
Or do you mean that you'd like to know your computer's private IP address, as opposed to the public one? If so, that's easily done, but how you find it depends on your operating system, which you didn't specify. Check your documentation for more information.
