in windows start the dial connnection aol, earthlink, etc.
once you have done that go to start, run in windows 9x and me and type winipcfg this will bring up a porgram at the top you will see a drop down list make sure its on ppp adapter if it is your tcp/ip address will be in box you shold see it. If this and Win NT machine then you go to a dos pormpt which is start programs and in that list open it and type ipconfig/all that will give the address of the ppp adpater
So long and thanks for all the fish.
