Depends, if you are talking about your IP address, then all you need to do is open up your connection properties (bottom right corner for most PCs). You should find it in there, mine is under the details tab. You will find Server and Client IP addresses, the one you want is the client address.

100% reliable way is to go to a dos prompt, run ipconfig /all, look at the IPs for all teh adapters (usualy 2 or 3), ignore any that are local LAN IPs(192.168.* usualy, anything starting with 10 as well), ignore adapter 0 and the remaining one is your PCs internet IP address.

Easier, but not on all version of windows, is winipcfg, Select the ppp adapter in the drop down list and read off your IP.
