When your computer connectes to a network (home LAN or internet, dosent matter) it gets an IP number from somewhere. This number identifies your computer uniquely on the network.
You need to find the IP of the host. DO this by running the program winipcfg (or ipconfig from a dos box if your system dosent have winipcfg, not all do) and you should be able to pick it out.
On a home LAN more often than not the IP of the host computer will be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.254, since the most powerful computer should be used as host and Ive never met a home LAN admin who lets someone else get the best computer.
ON the internet your IP changes with every connection (Some ISPs do this more than others, even if yours gives you the same IP multiple times it can change unexpectedly).
