... Because you don't bother reading how to find it properly.

www.aprelium.com/ip
www.whatismyip.com

If neither of those give you the correct answer, you will have to log into your router to find it out. If you only have a modem, you should be able to find it using ipconfig. Search the forum for more details.

go to router (if u have 1) and go to ip/wan/ports/network or whatever and find out your router ip, then at the end of the ip add :XX, XX is the port number the defult is 80.

Simple, you cant. 127.0.0.1 is a reserved IP address. It is also your localhost.

http://checkip.dyndns.org:8245/ <-- this is totally accurate, it does not matter if like me your behind a router, ISP proxy and a firewall, it still tells you your real IP address.

then in your address bar, http://ipaddress/ and your home and dry.
