Try this out… this should work for you

try
    set theIP to do shell script "curl ifconfig.co"

    set the clipboard to theIP

    activate
    display dialog "Your Current IP Address Is.." & linefeed & theIP & linefeed ¬
        & "It Has Been Copied To Your Clipboard" with icon 2 buttons ¬
        "OK" default button 1 with title "Your Current IP Address Is.." giving up after 10
on error 
    display dialog "You Have No Internet Connection" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button "OK"
end try
