Depending on whether you have:

98, ME, XP: click on start, run, and type in "winipcfg"

or

NT, 2000: Start, run, type "cmd", then in the DOS prompt type "inconfig".

That'll tell you your IP address. Is your PC at home wired to the net at all times? If so, then if you don't have any firewall running then you'll get through. Are you using a specific application to control your PC? Is it PCAnywhere or VNC? This will help also... You need an application like these in order to do it.
