To answer the OP for typical situations: if you are accessing the internet 
via a local network, the network administrator should be able to tell you. 
In fact, for some networks, the IP address is part of the interface setup. 
If the network is run by a router, it should be able to tell you.  If you 
are sitting behind a NAT (network address translation) router and you want 
to know the external address, there are web pages that echo your externally 
visible address back to you.
