Your not really suppost to be running a "server" from home with GOL's service.
I don't have that service myself (just got cable modem last week), so I can't
say much about the IP address except it is dynamically assigned. In my case my
cable modem company, Jcom, dynamically assigned me an IP which BTW hasn't 
changed. I also setup a win2k pc for my wife and used ipconfig to get the ip that
Jcom assigned me.
