Ok just a quick idea that i think may turn out to be more trouble then its worth. I have set up a VNC server on my PC at home so that when im at work i can log in and monitor my downloads, email, amongst other things. Now, because i don't have a static IP address it does occasionally change. What i would like to do is run some kind of script or program that looks at the IP address everyday and emails it to me at work. So when i get to work and want to log in its sitting right there. Now here is my setup from me to the internet: My PC -> Netgear WGR614 V4 Router -> Speedtouch 530 (ADSL Modem)-> Internet. No i already have set up port forwarding etc. So any ideas with this email thing? BTW why is it such a hassle just to get the email address out of these damn speedtouch 530 modems?

www.No-ip.com has what your looking for. Although it doesn't email it gives you a domain name like jordan.no-ip.com and uses a client to update the ip anytime it would change.

Yes, go with no-ip.com. "BTW why is it such a hassle just to get the email address out of these damn speedtouch 530 modems?" Perhaps it's because there is no email address in the modem. The modem doesn't know what email address or addresses you use, nor does it care. Michael J

ha ha my mistake, by email address i meant IP address, give me a break i was tired!! Ill give no-ip.com a look and see whats what. Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 Athlon 64 3500+ @2450 Dual - Corsair TwinX CMX512-3200XL Gecube X800 XT Platinum Seagate 200 Gig Coolermaster Wavemaster Silver

I understand, we've all been there. But, some of the questions people ask show how much they misunderstand what they *think* they know. I use no-ip and it works fantastic. You'll never need to know your IP address again! Instead you will just use thenameyoupick.no-ip.com to point to your router. If you have any questions in setting it up, just send me a private message Michael J

I designed some software called RAH IP Monitor this will email you your IP address on change, execute a program on change i.e. no-ip.exe and close after x number of mins and it also allows you to upload a web page with your own IP address on.download it from http://www.rahsoftware.co.uk Regards, Robert A Heeley rob@rahsoftware.co.uk http://www.rahsoftware.co.uk
