Well, you could do many things for this. Since your method has the client
involved anyway - why not just have them visit http://www.whatismyip.com/
and then copy/paste their IP into an email to you?

If you want the internal IP as well - that is easy enough to get - many
freeware applications you could send them links to already give them that
information and even copy to the clipboard. Example:
http://keir.net/ip2.html

I wouldn't re-invent the wheel if you don't need to. Heck - all the
machines in the domains I manage email me their internal/external IPs upon
startup. Batch script and BLAT...
