There's no way to really determine your own IP address in a reliable way. All the usual methods (e.g., socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())) can fail and/or be wrong in some not terribly uncommon situations. The only reliable way to get such a piece of information is to connect to a server, and ask that server what address you were connecting to them as. Even then, that IP may not be the same as an IP you use to connect to say, a different server (on a different network) --S
