Program to Post IP Address to Website

[JMWarren]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for some software to install on my PC that will relay its current IP address to a website hosted on a remote server. Any ideas?

P.S. If off topic isn't the right place for this I'm sorry.

Write a program that periodically sends an email to an external mail server. Then look at the mail headers.

There's gotta be somthing pre-existing that is more streamlined than that...

try a program called DirectUpdate and get yourself an account with DynDns.org

How about SOFTWARE - APPS, PROGRAMMING AND GAMES

A description of what you actually want to do this for might be useful

http://www.fmip.org/ might work for depending on what your doing

Or do the easiest thing ever:

Write a program to periodically access the URL with the IP in it, and have that page (try PHP and variables) to append it to a text-file with date and time.

If you have a domain with namecheap, you can install a program of their's that can automatically update the A record for a subdomain with your IP.

I'm bascially trying to keep track of a computers IP which is reassigned on a regluar basis by my ISP. It's for a bunch of reason, like my source server, ftp, etc.
