I wrote a very short CGI that does that. It's at
http://xcski.net/cgi-bin/you_are.cgi
Please don't slam the hell out of it or I'll have to move it. If you have
a host somewhere where you can put a CGI, the source code looks like:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo
echo $REMOTE_ADDR
exit 0
