your router takes the ip that @home(or whoever your cable provider is) assigned to you. you take a private ip address such as 192.168.1.X. you can ping your router by pinging the ip address your cable provider assigned, but more efficiently by pinging 192.168.1.1. that is the ip address of the router relative to you. nobody can actually ping your computer, they can only ping the router unless you enabled DMZ hosting or port routing. the router acts sort of like a firewall and your computer won't take direct connections unless you set it up that way.

You have to use your browser to look at the Linksys configuration. Go to 192.168.1.1 and then login. Go to the Status tab and look at the Wan IP Address.
