Wojciech gave a perfectly valid answer that'll work in all cases.

Here is another one, that you may or may not be able to use, which  
consists in using the same Tkinter variable for your check-button's value  
and your label's text:
--------------------------------------------------
 from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

labelString = StringVar()

b = Checkbutton(root, text="Enable IP:", variable=labelString,
                       onvalue='IP:', offvalue='')
b.grid(row=2, column=0)

Label(root, textvariable=labelString).grid(row=3, column=0)

root.mainloop()
--------------------------------------------------

This doesn't really make the label "disappear" when the check-button is  
off, but simply sets its text to the empty string.
