Tada!  ;)

Now, dial-up modems set their IPs automatically, so I doubt you actually need this.

That won't necessarily work. It may give you the address of your ISP's cache server.

Thank you all for your help on the matter.

I don't know why I need my ISP's IP address, Vector Linux just asked me for it when I set up the Internet.

Each method that you gave me produced a different result.

I would imagine that one might be my address the other could be my ISPs and one could be the ISP's cache server.

What's dhcp?

Do you think I made a mistake some where ealier on  in the set up of my Internet connection?

Anyway, I'm going to try them all and if it dosn't work I will reinstall

DHCP is used to automatically set your machine's IP address. NTL definitely uses it so you don't need to supply an IP address yourself. If it's asking for a static IP address it should have an option to just leave it blank and use DHCP instead.
