Yes. There are a number of ways this can (and in fact does) happen. The most obvious happens in a DHCP request, which is a method by which a computer that does not have an IP address gets an IP address from a DHCP server.
IP address is an logical value which is used to communicate with different computer in network.
No, an IP address is given to each internet provider, not each computer. For example, there could be five computers hooked up to the same network in which case they'd all have the same IP address.

If there is no DHCP server available, a computer can acquire an IP address through a process called Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). In this scenario, the computer automatically assigns itself an IP address from the reserved APIPA range (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) if it cannot find a DHCP server. This allows the device to communicate with other devices on the same local network that also use APIPA. However, it won't be able to connect to external networks without a proper DHCP server or static IP address configuration.
Because without an IP address a device cannot communicate on a network. Within a LAN, an IP address must be unique.
When configuring Netgear, you need to know your IP Address because your IP is used by all devices to communicate with each other on a computer network setup.
IP is needed for all Internet communications, not just when you browse the Internet with Internet Explorer. The IP address is basically the address that distinguishes where you want to send information to, and from where the information comes. There simply has to be a way to distinguish with which of the millions of computers in the World you want to communicate.
Name resolution is a function of DNS (Domain Name System). Computers do not use names to communicate with each other in TCP/IP networks or on the Internet. Instead, they use IP Addresses. An IP Address is a series of numbers (IPv4). For example, the IP Address for this site (wiki.answers.com) is 67.196.156.25. That is not exactly a number that most humans will find easy to remember. In order to be able to type http://wiki.answers.com/ into your browser and get to the site successfully, your computer has to contact a DNS Server. The DNS Server will take the name you pass it, and return an IP address. Your computer will then use this IP Address to communicate with the remote web server, and then your browser can display the page. Without DNS, you would have to know the IP address of every server you wanted to connect to.
Your IP is your "Internet Protocol" address. It is a way of identifying your computer system in the network of computers we call the internet. When you pay an isp to link you into the system, they will probably give you a modem, and it will have an IP address to communicate with the network. You can see what that address is by going to whatismyip.com. You can also type in on the command prompt ipconfig /all to get your IPv4 and IPv6
I don't exactly understand to whom you want to give you your IP address, but the IP address is not a great secret. Any communication that gets out of your computer includes your computer's IP address, because that is the address to which the other computer must reply.I don't exactly understand to whom you want to give you your IP address, but the IP address is not a great secret.

IP Address
The value that uniquely identifies an application on a computer communicating using TCP/IP is the combination of the IP address and the port number. The IP address identifies the specific device on the network, while the port number specifies the particular application or service running on that device. Together, this combination forms a socket, allowing multiple applications to communicate over the same IP address without conflict.
