Hi,

www.debianhelp.co.uk is a web site that automatically detects and
displays your computer's IP address. This can be helpful for
configuring a computer on a network, setting up communications
software, or troubleshooting an Internet connection. Your Internet
Service Provider or IT help desk may ask you to visit this site when
you're having problems with your Internet connection

This might help for some basic users

Well, sort of -- if you are behind a router using NAT (Linksys,
SMC etc), what you will get is the IP address of the WAN
side of the router, NOT your PC.

Why go to a web site to learn something that's easily determined by
simply looking at the PC's network configuration or opening a Command
Prompt session and typing "ipconfig?"

There are perhaps, 500 pages that will tell you your public IP address.

The above will tell you without the GIANT ad.
 
Well maybe. If you are using a router (A good idea with broadband),
the IP shown at sites like this is the router's IP, not the
computer's.

In any event, you can go into command mode and type "ipconfig /all"
(without the quotes) and get a wealth of information that way,
although it won't give the router's IP.
