You can either parse a "what is my IP" website (like http://my-i-p.com/), which usually restrict the frequency you can get the IP.

Or, if you have your own web server, you can have the application contact a PHP page, for example, that prints the IP address on the page. Download that page to retrieve the IP address from the text.

@Juan: It's not possible without using an external source. See the answer in the "possible duplicate" comment. – Evan Mulawski Aug 21 '11 at 23:23
