Actually, if you use a ISP with a proxy or it unknown to you has a  
transparent proxy this probably won't give you your IP.

If you use gmail then go to https://gmail.com then you can see your IP  
at the bottom of your inbox page.

Otherwise a google for http://www.google.com/search?q=my+ip+inurl:https

comes up with several websites that will work in https that will  
probably give the correct IP.  Seems to be a firefox extension that  
will do this.  Bit of an over-kill though.
