your ip address in a network

so if your on a cable connection, your IP is whatever, sure. But when you have a network, you have your isp ip and your lan ip. I used to know how to do this, but lets say im using vnc or something, how do i type out the ip in hte connection dialogue so that it goes to my machine, when my laptop is on a network. I know Ive done it before, I jsut forget how. I dont care about the router changes, I jsut want to know exactly what format the ip is in. ex my isp ip is 1.2.3.4 and my lan is 192.168.0.2 Thanks for your help.

what os are you on? in windows i know you can do a netstat or ipconfig and it will tell you your IP do something like ipconfig /all and it will tell you your IP address..
if its on a network.. i dont know much about vnc (sry) but with windows remote connection you can type in an IP and username/password or just a username/password in the dialog box.. there are also websites that can tell you external IP address.. like http://whatismyip.com

youre probably going to have to forward your ports on the router if you are trying to use VNC from a computer that is not on your network and in that case you would use the IP that your ISP assigned you. If you're connecting from another computer on your network, you would use the LAN IP.

regardless, youll need to implement packet forwrding on your router on the port on your local ip (the 192.168.*.*), or place your laptop in your routers DMZ. once thats done, your WAN address (1.2.*.*) will be the address for forwarding
i know you said you dont care about router settings but thats the only way.

Most certainly NOT the only way. For example, I can get an additional static IP address from my ISP; no PAT/NAT needed.
