Dar's solution of opening a UDP socket to a public address should always get the IP address of an interface which can reach the internet.
Thanks for the tip, Dar and all my apologies to All. It seems i didn't read the begining of this thread before speaking in the box... The "Rendez-Vous/ZeroConf" features are probably usables there, too. At least under MacOS X and Linux (i don't know about Windows), it's a way to use them to catch the diffrent IP address the computer is binded to.

When I need to access servers through a firewall from some remote place, the IP address of my machine is typically not the IP address the firewall is going to see. The only way to determine my IP address is to hit a remote server that tells me what my IP actually is, then I enter that into the firewall. It is rarely the IP address that my machine is using.
How you determine your IP address depends entirely upon what you are planning to do with that information.
