Hi d-man,

Log into your router through IE with 192.168.1.1, use admin for the username and password1 for the password (ignore the extra dots when typing the password).

Once inside, the ip address should be listed under router status on the front page.

First of all, the method I gave will show your WAN (Internet) ip address.

Second of all, if you are trying to host a web page, port 80 (http) is blocked on Verizon's server for residential accounts, you will need a business account to be able to host a web page.

That works too, and is in fact much easier then my method.
