The First IP is the IP which your Internet provider gives you when you're online ,and the second one is the IP of your computer on the LAN .Don't worry that's why you haven't real IP adress.

192.168.*.* is a local IP.

wikipedia

In Internet terminology, a private network is a network that uses RFC 1918 private IP address space. Computers may be allocated addresses from this address space when it's necessary for them to communicate with other computing devices on an internal (non-Internet) network but not directly with the Internet.

Private networks are becoming quite common in office local area network (LAN) designs, as many organizations do not see a need for globally unique IP addresses for every computer, printer and other device that the organizations use. Another reason for the extensive use of private IP addresses is the shortage of publicly registerable IP addresses. IPv6 was created to alleviate this shortage, but is yet to be in widespread use.

Routers on the Internet are (normally) configured to discard any traffic using private IP addresses. This isolation gives private networks a basic form of security as it is not usually possible for the outside world to establish a connection directly to a machine using these addresses. As connections cannot be made between different private networks via the internet different organizations can use the same private address range without risking address conflicts (communications accidentally reaching third party which is using the same IP address).

80.4.110.147 is your IP to the internet. Imagine the internet as a router, your house gets one ip, and you split it into local IPs.
