If you mean your remote/external IPAddress then you can use following code

Dim w As New WebClient
Dim ipAddress As String = w.DownloadString("http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp")

Hi,
could you please little more clear what is global ip address.
using this you can get the localIP.i hope it will help you

 String hn = Dns.GetHostName();
            IPHostEntry he = Dns.GetHostEntry(hn);
            IPAddress[] iArr = he.AddressList;
            foreach (IPAddress i in iArr)
            {
               MessageBox.Show(i.ToString());
            }
