I was on the phone with the army.mil, the site i couldn't access. It was becasue they blocked a rang of ips. When they needed my ip, they said to go to command prompt which i did, then type ipconfig. I got the results but they said that is not valid ip. Is this because i am on a wireless router or something. Or should it work?

Correct. IPCONFIG will give you your internally assigned IP address, not the real one. Go to your Router's setup screen. You should be able to find your real one assigned by your ISP there in one of the menus. For example in my Siemens the LAN section shows my real internet IP assigned by my ISP and my internal LAN one.

Well actually whilst many router manufacturers do use that range, they don't all use it! I've seen routers in the 10 range, routers as 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254. Its up to the manufacturer to pick a standard range. Might be easier to find an online resource that shows your external address if your unsure how to get onto your router.

Both these sites should give it to you:

go to Start Menu>Run and type "cmd" then hit enter. When that window pops up just type in "netstat -n" and hit enter. You will see a list of ip address on your network. Your ISP's assigned ip to your computer will be listed there.

Not correct jtrageser.

netstat -n will show current connections but it won't show the external IP Address if you are behind a router. Here's a perfect example from my own:
