There was a thread a while back on this with a few cygwin solutions.  Here is
one from the horse's whatever:

IDENTIFYING YOUR DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS
When you use Dial-Up Networking in either Windows 98 or Windows 95 to connect to the Internet, the server at your ISP (Internet Service Provider) dynamically assigns you an IP (Internet Protocol) address. If you would like to know what IP address you have been assigned, you can use the undocumented WINIPCFG.EXE utility. To use this program, choose the Run command from the Start Menu and enter WINIPCFG.EXE in the Run dialog box and click OK. The IP Configuration dialog box will appear, displaying your computer's IP address.
