Hey, I'm not really new to the world of Diablo but i am new to playing TCP/IP games. I understand how to do it though.

You click other multiplayer>TCP/IP game and then host a game

and for other user to enter your game they must now your computer IP

My question is how do i locate my computer's IP ?

www.whatismyip.com will tell you your IP. If it is different than that D2 tells you when you select TCP/IP as an option, you are likely using a router and will need to forward port 4000. Instructions on how to do this can be found at www.portforward.com.

Note that if both you and the person you wish to game with are on the same network (ie, you could both be brothers or something) then you'll want to use your internal IP address (assuming there's a router). This'll be the IP address that Diablo tells you.
