ok an ip address is what distinguishes your computer from the one next to it and it has absolutely nothing to do with security or law or any government secret intelligence or any other aspect of spying. when a computer connects to another, which could be a remote unit or a server or has to upload or download some data or some traffic to do this the packets on a frame have to be given an address that is unique to the dial out phrase for each computer so that e-mails and things that are sent over SSL or HTTPs and so on are only sent to the directly indicated address. on the question of spying and how do they do that? ok there are two classic ways in which the UK government provides Police or anyone including local government under RIPA or any other crackpot laws actually act this is: applying some type of software or some type of software capable of penetration beyond the anti-virus software. interception at some point of the traffic routes from the server out to the isp and beyond the bastion gate from LAN to WAN, an on to the net. so how do they do it? well there is packet sniffing and there is direct monitoring of the URL or ip address and so on. the only way that a computer can be found is two ways: either the units UUID or if its transmission is on the GSM network then even if multiple encryption is used beyond the standard 3 phase and various states such as DES and so on the location depends on the cell and the distance of each cell to the signal being sent. the other method is that a direct address that is related to a specific user or subscription that locates a router or port to a particular address. in short the use of the internet and wireless is easy for the state to crack because of: the operating system is universal and all systems have the same. all browsers are exactly the same and use the same internet protocol suite. the means and the method of connection through an isp is the the same. computers tend to be used in a static place. so ip address = unique address that relates to a particular computer.

In windows XP:
Start --> Run --> type the word "cmd" without quotes. Brings you to a prompt. Type : "ipconfig /all" again, no quotes.
the readout will comtain your IP address.
if you are behind a router on a LAN you onl;y get your internal IP (likely 192.168.x.x or mauby 10.x.x.x) Your public IP address will configured by your ISP and is related to your modem.
in linux: get to a terminal, and give it "ifconfig". same basic deal.

If someone ask me what is your IP address I say its NTL. I ask my friend what is your IP address and he said BT broadband. When I rang NTL I said to them I want get connected to the Internet they said yes we will install our IP address to your phone line but it will cost you £22 per month and you will be able to use the Internet.

(I assume you're using XP) Right-click the "My Network Places" > Properties. Right-click "Local Area Connection" > Status. Click the "Support" tab and see your IP Address :-)
