whomever is hosting the game or which server your trying to connect to is the ip you want. if your hosting the game, then normally the ip your friend will need is the ip that is assigned to your connection (thinking cable/dsl modem). if you have a router this will be different than the ip of your system.

Right click on your internet connection (while online, the two computer screens that flash on your taskbar) and go to Status and tehn support then there is your IP Address!

sry... if i post a too noob question
Your IP address is
202.156.2.18
This is the IP address of the machine that requested the page. Typically this is your own IP address. If you used a router/proxy you will not get the correct IP address.
