    And your current IP will be shown by http://whatismyipaddress.com/

    The reason I saw current is because most home broadband has dynamic IP addresses which may well change each time you reconnect your modem/router.

    Or just by typing "what is my ip address" into google, which will provide you the result directly.

    Google, smartly, cope with IPv6-connected users as well (it turns out that Google are now handling IPv6 pervasively, so those of us that have IPv6 at home access Google via it).

    Or you can probably find it in your router information by going to http://192.168.2.1/ (you may have to change the last digit, but that's the most likely one)

    Run a test and part of the info that comes back will be your ISP.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Which IP address do you want?

    If your laptop connects to a router then it has a IP address of it's own:
    (for Windows Vista etc)
    Open Command Prompt from Start Menu
    Enter ipconfig
    Look for a IPv4 Address value

    If you want the router's IP address then follow kwikbreaks advice.
