If you click on the tele with the red cross,on the task bar, it brings up the connection page, click on the INTERNET supplier and in the bottom left hand corner is your IP address and mask No.
OK, here's a stupid question. Does your IP address change from time to time? I've just looked mine up on both the recommended sites. It's the same from both of them but it is different to a note I made a while back of my IP address. How is that?

Your IP address will be different every time you connect to the internet. It is randomly assigned from a pool of addresses that are allocated to them.
The one James has mentioned stays the same if you are on a local network. (BroadbandRouter/wireless)
Thanks Wendy. I'm not on a local network and what you tell me has put my mind at rest.Shows how much I know about the workings of the internet doesn't it? :o

It's not so much connecting to the internet but turning your modem/router off that can cause it to grab a different IP.
I have had the same IP address for about five years. Until recently.
Depends on ISP as well.
