Go to Ask Jeeves and type in "What's my IP?"

Simple as that.

There is no special server or code that tells you your IP, just a tiny bit of SHTML on a web page.

If you're using windows you can type "ipconfig" in the command prompt.

there might be a free service that allows you to register a static IP"one that never changes", do a search for such a service :)

What does hosting games have to do with your IP changing? You can still set up a website whether your IP changes or not.

Yes but you cant host Quest Online Games to well if your IP Addy changes everytime you log onto the Internet.
