FreeBSD server WAN/IP online/IP

I was wondering what is my online IP to my remote FreeBSD server? I am new and have no idea how I should find it. I am trying to connect to a game server I am running on FreeBSD but I can not connect unless I know what the online IP is so where do I find it? I have one IP I use to connect to the server through PuTTY on ssh but that IP does not work.

The game server runs on port 25565 and starts and runs just fine but I can not connect. Please help me.
 
Type # ifconfig -a

Look at the output. If you are behind a router the IP address will probably be something in the 192.168.1.0/24 range. In that case you will need to forward a port on your router.

Have a look on this site how to configure your router: http://portforward.com/
 
You can use this from the command line (assuming you have www/links installed):

% links [url]http://www.whatismyip.com/[/url]

Or another service with simpler output:

% links [url]http://checkip.dyndns.com/[/url]
