Well, running ipconfig will give you the current public IP then presuming the DSL modem is not a
router or go to http://www.whatismyip.com and use that...

Alternatively...you might look into using one of the dynamic naming services that map a fully
qualified domain name to the IP. In my case I use a FREE service from No-IP.com. The No-IP.com
software runs on one of my XP Pro boxes and on a time schedule basis contacts the No-IP.com servers.
The No-IP.com servers then know what your IP is and maps that to a fully qualified domain name. That
information is then propagated over the public internet. You can then call your PC using the fully
qualified domain name. It works very well.

Others, some free and some $$$$...
