This actually worked, unlike the other sugestions ... It seems like I didn't 
give enough info.

I have one machine on an ADSL modem/network.  ipconfig  seems to just be just 
giving me the info of the local network.

I need to conect to a computer with telnet where I want to use Matlab. I have 
been told I need to "direct the display to an x-windows capable computer" I 
think that means give it my machine's address.  I need to give this to Matlab 
(set the enviroment variable DISPLAY) so that it can display a window on my 
computer.

What I thought I needed was the IP address used over the internet.  But even 
though the above seemed to give me that it still doesn't work.

The information that I have been given seems to assume that I am on the uni 
network.  So I just extrapolated to the above. But unoftunatly they have told 
me that they don't support Matlab, and not to go back to them with problems.
