IP Monitor 5.1

IP Monitor is a network address monitoring tool which allows you to be informed of IP address changes on a remote computer. This enables you to access a computer from a remote location, as you will always know when its address changes. Using IP Monitor you may track the internal and external network addresses for a specific machine. If a change occurs you may set up notifications by email or FTP updates. Keep track of changed addresses and access systems whose network addresses can change

Features and Benefits
Shows your current local IP address
Useful for network administrators to see what IP address a computer has assigned to it. It is also useful for dial-up users who are issued a different IP address each time they connect. IP Monitor can help you get access to a remote computer which has a non-static 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.

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.

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 computers IP address has changed so they can take any necessary action to restart programs, file transfers or remote processes.
