Introduction

For those of you who operate servers on a dynamic IP address for whatever reason (mine's a Terminal Server), yet don't want to keep having to go to WhatIsMyIP.com, I've devised a nifty client/server solution that allows you to get your IP address from anywhere in the world, just so long as you have a webserver that runs ASP.Net1.1

ASP3 and PHP4 Server versions coming soon!

Requirements

Instructions

As always, a copy of this information is inside the zip file

  1. Extract the contents
  2. Edit Settings.ini and configure as appropriate
  3. Upload the server files to a location on your server
  4. Network Service (WS2003) or ASPNET (W2000S) Read/Write permissions required on the Database for ASP.Net
  5. Simply run the client executable (IPUpdate.exe) and it'll update the IP stored on the server
  6. So when you want to know your IP address when you're away from home, just access your website and it'll return the IP address of your home computer
  7. I recommend setting it to a Scheduled Task every night (Mine's at 1:30am) to ensure that it gets frequently updated
