IPCONFIG is a program that gives you this information.  However, leaving
your computer open for anyone to access files is not a good idea.  Take
a look at the "Shields Up" section of Steve Gibson's Web site -
www.grc.com for information.  You would be better off storing files on a
Web site somewhere and sharing the files through it.  Many ISPs give you
a small amount of free file space.

Subject: [PCBUILD] IP ADDRESS ON CABLE MODEMS


> Just got a new cable modem. I want to share files with a friend in
CALIFORNIA. I understand how to turn on the file and print sharing
options, but can't seem to locate what my IP address is to grant my
comrade access to my computer. Where and how do I find out my IP ADDRESS
to relay to my friend, to share files back and forth.
