You cannot, because "Internet IP address" is not a clearly defined term.
Some users have multiple Internet connections, some none at all. Also, not all
platforms provide APIs that allow REBOL to get IP addresses on individual
interfaces, not to mention the difficulty of even figuring out which interface
connects you to "the Internet". Plus there are complications with IP-NAT,
proxies...

Why do you need to know at all ? :-)
