Hi, Doug -

If the server is connected to the Internet (and if they
allow that server to be pinged) all you have to do is
open a command prompt window and type 'ping servername'
where 'servername' is the fully qualified domain name of
the server - which will end in .com, .net and so on.

To determine your own IP address, from the same command
prompt window, just type 'ipconfig' or 'ipconfig /all'
and hit the enter key.

Your ISP determines whether your IP address is static or
dynamic - it might be best to ask them that question.

Hope this helps -
