You might not have one. If your router or firewall has a pulic IP address and is doing port forwarding or NAT (I'm a little fuzzy on the distinction--I think port forwarding is one way to do NAT, but don't quote me on that), as described in the thread that prom linked to, then (assuming you cotrol the router/firewall) you can forward the desired ports to 192.168.1.101 and use the router's public IP as if it were your computer's for those ports. Else you're SOL.
