Get Local Ip Address?

[Unknown W. Brackets]

Are you wanting the public IP address, or just the machine's IP address?

Example: my computer is in a network, so it's IP starts with 172.16. 
But, my public IP address starts with 72 or something (for my entire 
network.)

To get the machine IP, it's going to be more system-specific, and I 
don't know off hand how.  To get the public IP, you have to check an 
external source - e.g. http://www.whatismyip.org/.
