Not yet. If you mean your internet IP address, these are assigned by your ISP or DSL/Cable provider. You have to call them to ask for a new IP if it doesn't change in a few days.
For your LAN, that could covered at http://www.wown.com

To Bob: If my IP address changes frequently by my ISP, how does my anti-virus provider know how to send me updates two or three times a week. I never gave my anti-virus provider, PC-cillin, my e-mail address. I thought that they send me updates based on my IP address. Thank you.
IP address is not your "mail address" or how an antivirus updates.

I'll reply as simple as I can. Your antivirus program contacts "home" from time to time to see if an update is available. Your machine is doing this check.
