Getting my IP address?

My system has a dynamic shared IP provided to me by my ISP. I want to give my IP address to a friend so she can allow access to her server for requests coming from my IP.

Can someone please tell me how I can find a static IP address to give to her?

Thanks a lot for any help...

Solution 1:

You might also be interested in DynDNS.
Look at How to access my Home PC from the office?

Solution 2:

www.whatismyip.com

I recommend also using www.no-ip.com where you can pick an alias like, myserver.no-ip.org, install software which will look at your ip and update it accordingly. That way you can just give your fiends etc myserver.no-ip.org as address and the software will update the ip when it changes.

Using the proposed things like DynDNS.com will give you a "static" host name, but not a static IP address. If that friend really needs to know an IP address for the filtering then you're out of luck.
