				Getting your real Internet-IP-Address when you are behind a router or using adsl proxy is simple way using indy IdHTTP components shipped with Delphi 7 to pares Perl/Cgi page to get the return IP Address. 
Just Drop Edit box on a Form with button and IdHTTP then place this code :
var
 i:integer;
 x,s:ansistring;
begin
 try 
 x:=IdHTTP1.Get('http://checkip.dyndns.org');
 i:= AnsiPos('Address:',x);
 i:=i+9;
 while x[i]<>'<' do begin
 s:=s+x[i];
 inc(i);
 end;
 Edit1.Text:=s;
 finally
 end;
end;

I guess there is no real way to do, except by visiting a website and having PHP tell you.

Why this is useful: if you are going to set up a server, and have a remote computer to connect to it, you must know your ip address. Do you know another way to do this? Maybe using winsock? because im limited to Delphi 6 components... Thanks in advance.

Acutally delphi 6 componets are better. Delphi 7 is based of .NET so its a big change most people don't like it. Im staying with d6

Put WinSock @ Uses Clause then
Copy N paste this code

function My_IP: string;
type
TaPInAddr = array [0..10] of PInAddr;
PaPInAddr = ^TaPInAddr;
var
phe: PHostEnt;
pptr: PaPInAddr;
Buffer: array [0..63] of char;
i: Integer;
GInitData: TWSADATA;
begin
WSAStartup($101, GInitData);
Result := '';
GetHostName(Buffer, SizeOf(Buffer));
phe :=GetHostByName(buffer);
if phe = nil then Exit;
pptr := PaPInAddr(Phe^.h_addr_list);
i := 0;
while pptr^[i] <> nil do
begin
result:=StrPas(inet_ntoa(pptr^[i]^));
Inc(i);
end;
WSACleanup;
end;

Found this on the net somewhere don't remember where but it's very usefull.
