Software - IP Monitor

Easy to Use
Simply download, install and run. You will be presented with a window (see screen shots) showing the current computer name and IP address of the machine.  Prompts help configure your IP Monitor installation.

Send Notification of IP address(es) at startup
IP Monitor can run with a command-line parameter to send notification when your system starts, and then exit.  This makes any system start-up or restart notify your designated email addresses or FTP server about ADSL or cable-modem connections when your computer starts.   You may even use this utility behind a firewall as it supports passive FTP mode.

IP Monitor can send notification emails when it detects an IP address has changed.  You may configure email settings to use a built-in emailer or configure for your SMTP mail server.  IP Monitor provides background sending of these notification emails so you will know when an address changes and still be able to access a remote system.

Email Notifications

Notification of changed IP address
Not only can IP Monitor detect a change in an IP address, but it can also notify you via FTP or email if this occurs. This is helpful if you are trying to access a remote computer whose IP address has changed. Configure IP Monitor to notify you and you will be able to continue to access the remote computer.

Detects changes in your IP address(es)
IP Monitor tracks IP address changes on a computer. Some DSL or network providers assign dynamic IP addresses that change over time. This is to prevent you from hosting a server on a computer through a service that is not designed for this. However, there are times that a user needs to know if their computer's IP address has changed so they can take any necessary action to restart programs, file transfers or remote processes.

What is an IP address?
In a TCP/IP network, each network node/computer has its own unique address by which it communicates with other computers on a network. This address is known as an IP address.

Shows your current public IP address
IP Monitor can display your external IP address. This can be different than the local/internal address if you are running on a network that has a router or firewall in place to access the Internet.

IP Monitor is a network address monitoring tool which allows you to be informed of IP address changes on a remote computer
