IP Address

For XP:

Go to Control Panel > Network Connections

There should be an entry under LAN or High-Speed Internet (usually labelled Local Area Connection or something similar). You can tell which one because it will also sport the name of your network card / device. Simply left-click it, and the information should be displayed in the information bar on the left of the Network Connections window.

For a host of useful network information, open up your DOS command prompt, either by Start-->Run-->cmd or Start-->Accessories-->Command Prompt, and enter in 'ipcomfig.' It'll have your IP address, your subnet mask, your ISP's DNS suffix, and default gateway.
This is especially important given that sometimes Windows' built-in network tools display innaccurate information about your IP address. Although I just tried Phazon's method and it matches my ipconfig.

For all of the networking information required to host SINS, please download my guide "Networking and SINS" (check the file date should be Feb14th 08) which is linked-to right under the GREEN writing in the OP of this thread


Should you need clarification with regard to any of the steps covered within my guide, I'll be glad to help. (either PM me, or hit me up via xfire etc.)
