Hi: Is there a windows message created in a scenario when the ip address of the machine changes ?? Lets say the machine is disconnected from one nw and hooked on another, which will change its ip.. in this case, will there be a windows message alerting this ? If yes, what do i do to get it ? Very new to windows programming.

You can probably find such info in the Events log. However, I have never tried to record anything like this programatically, so I dont know what to tell you.. Your best best is to write a script that parses the output of the command >ipconfig /all, that you run on a daily basis, and you can probably detect the change there..
maybe someone else has a better solution..

I have never done this myself, but I know that dynamic dns programs (dynu, dns2go, planetremote, etc.) check the IP every few minutes. They don't automatically detect when an IP changes. If they don't, it's likely that you won't want to. Try gpp's approach.
