  Your ip address is not hidden, there are many websites which let you know your ip..google for them..whatismyipaddress is one such site..
  
  To make your computer a server and access it from your phone, you'll need to get a static ip from your isp..this is just like regular mail, if your address keeps changing (dynamic ip) people will not able to communicate with you?? on the other hand if your address is the permanent (static ip) people will be able to communicate with you.

  Yes i am using GPRS to connect my computer(server) to the internet then use another computer/phone(client) to access the first computer(server) all through the GPRS.
  The problem is my isp is the phone operator(GSM) since i intend to use a modem with a sim card inside it.

  People have posted problems similar to yours in the two forums below, and both have got unconvincing answers. The closest I think they got to a solution, is using the MAC address. Although how that will be used to access the computer from the internet, is a mystery to me..maybe some comp/it engineer on the forum can help you..

  You can try using a proxy server. Route the traffic on your computer through a proxy. Get a static ip for the proxy, and you should be good to go.

  Thank you.
  Could you post a detailed explanation of how i could route traffic through a proxy bearing in mind that i am trying to host a website. i don't know how to use a proxy server, i don't know what it is either. I need to use this for a project.

  @Mungti: If you are connecting two PCs and if both the PC's are connected over the internet. Use a VPN, like #-Link-Snipped-# . I use hamachi to connect to my office network from home. Both the PC's will act as if they are on the same network. Best of all hamachi is free.
  
  Now, If you are connecting with your phone, see if you can find a VPN client for your phone.
