This is a redo of my previous version. If you are behind a router/hub/NAT/firewall and are unable to get your "real" IP address, then you can use this simple utility. It extracts your IP address and hostname ("ISP Name") from a remote web server ("https://www.ShowMyIP.com/xml"); therefor I cannot take full credit for this; but give it to them for providing the service. Comments, threats, jokes are always appreciated! :)
