though i dont know whats got to do I'll tell you how to get it.
Theres a few ways you can get them but I'll tell you the simplest. Go to DOS then type PING then your computer name. eg. if my computer name is DBPRO I would typw

PING DBPRO

I'm not sure if this works for O\S other than win2k. If this still doesn't work maybe you have an ipchanger around your computer, though I doubt that. Or maybe even a virus that changes your ip, though I doubt that even more . Whats this got to do with dark basic code snippets? x-d

depends what IP your looking at hehee
there are any number of IP's you machine can have at once...

Local Machine
Local Network Card
Internet/Modem
Dynamic/Static Internet Service Provider

the only one that will really change is your ISP one, all the rest are static and you'll have to change them manually if you want then different to default

IP 1 - is your Machines
IP 2 - is your ISPs (or network if you have a network card)

Argh! Thats my original version - there's a slightly better one available now that lets you know how many IP addresses your machine has.

Well your Ip address changes every time because you dont own a Ip address which you can buy. And you got 56k so it chnages every time. If you got broadband it wont change because the company gives you a specail Ip address unless you ask the company for a new one.
winipcfg works for win 95 to 2000 but not xp. Plus winipcfg wont work and will show a blank unless you got a ethernate card in your computer. By the way SMC Routers are the best

AMD Atherlon 2400+ XP, 380 DDr memeory, ATI Radeon 9000 64 DDR.

And a Katana.

Chiwawa is right, just to:
start

then

run

then type

cmd

then at the new command prompt type

ipconfig

Your IP# is the one next to 'IP ADDRESS'
Hope this has cleared everything up?

Darksith - It won't run in DB Classic, at least, not without a lot of changes.

Bluntman - It only affects you if you are running a server, which after looking at your mini-chat program I assume you are. Either you're going to need a fixed IP address from an ISP that will provide one, or if you've got access to an FTP server, your server program can upload a file to it that contains your current IP, and the clients can download it.

I see your IP if you want me to IM it to you just give me an instant messenger name of yours.

If you have MS-DOS prompt I have no clue how to find out but if you don't just go to start then click run then type in CMD then type in

ping COMPUTERNAME

were COMPUTERNAME is the name of you computer and it will give you your IP address and that's the correct one.
Do not trust web sites to give it to you most of them are lying like i'll get a popup that says 403.22.0.168 your computer is in trouble and that isn't even my IP address at all. trust me. [b])

It's already been explained to you once.

You have a DYNAMIC IP address because you are on dial-up(standard modem). I also find it quite irritating, but hey, I'm poor. Hopefully I can get broadband this year.

I doubt this would apply to you. But in some cases it is better to be DYNAMIC as it is harder to be 'sniffed' or have a succesfull Trojan set on your computer.

There are tools which can set your dynamic to static but these are mainly for people who want FTP and HTTP servers running. *again something which I doubt would apply to you)

Yeah, use IPCONFIG at the comand line, or NETSTAT -an if your a stats junkie.

Oh you want your ip to stay the same when you reconnect to the internet, well without paying for one, you could give your computer a special address, go http://www.dyndns.org/ to see what I mean.

Dynamic IPs can be nice, they're more than a bit safer than static IPs
