I run my pc through a server connected to the internet, and my net
connection uses windows standard internet connection sharing over XP on a
ASDL line.

However I want to directly link my pc to a friends (who has same exact set
up as me but in differnt location) to play C&C Generals together but he
needs my remote IP, every find ip site I use brings up the servers ip and I
need to find the one for my computer so he can connectt to me, Can anybody
with the knoledge please let me know.

Thankyou,
David.

P.S. or if theres anyother way of doing this perhaps seting up somesort of
"fake" network between us over the  net? could you please help.

I know that you can make a Virtual Private Network with WinXP, but for the exactspecifics I'm not sure. Me and my friends used to use Dial Up Networking on Win98 to play IPX and TCP/IP games against each other, you might like to investigate that as well.

type ipconfig at a dos prompt and it'll show you your current ip address.
