MonitorIP Readme File

What is MonitorIP?

===============

MonitorIP is an application that runs in your system tray and reports in various

ways when your true, external IP address changes. It retrieves your external

address by connecting to a remote website that reports where the connection is

being made from. By default it points at http://myip.dnosmatic.com but can be

configured to point anywhere that reports the IP address in a plain text

format.

How to use MonitorIP

=================

When your IP address changes, MonitorIP can report it in the following ways:

E-mail, FTP, Execute a Command, Post to MonitorIP Online, or pop up a notification

When MonitorIP launches for the first time, you should see a window containing all

of your computer's IP address information. By default it does not do any

reporting other than displaying that information on your screen. In the window,

you will see a list of local addresses, you external address, your computer's

hostname, and if you have some advanced networking configured you may see

aliases in the list.

From this window, you can manually refresh the external IP address or copy the

various information to your clipboard. That's about it. For the more useful

features, you will need to configure them in the options window. You can get

to the options window by right-clicking on the MonitorIP icon in your system tray

and choosing Options from the menu.

Once in the options window, you will see some general settings on the left. The

options are intended to be self-explanatory, but I'll go over them quickly here

for posterity.

Minimize to the system tray at startup:

This means it won't show the MonitorIP window when the application launches. This

is probably good to keep enabled unless you are troubleshooting an issue.

Run at Windows startup

This launches the application at startup. It accomplishes this by adding an

entry in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key.

Suppress error message pop ups

Sometimes you don't want users to see the pop ups if the application runs into

an issue, e.g. in a Remote Support setting. This hides those messages.

Remember external IP address between restarts

Some people like to know every time the application restarts, because that

usually means the computer restarted. If you have this enabled, it won't

send notifications unless the IP address changed since the last time it

checked.

Check frequency

This is how often to check to see if the IP address changed. Most modern ISPs

don't refresh an IP address very often due to the way DHCP works. Setting it

lower than a few minutes may piss off the web servers that are helping you

retrieve your external IP address. Please be mindful of that.

Show external address/Copy external address on double-click

When double clicking the MonitorIP tray icon, it will do one of these two actions

Retrieve public IP address from

This is a list of servers to check with to see what your external IP address

is currently set to. By default it contains just one entry, which is usually

enough to get started: http://myip.dnsomatic.com

On the right side of the options window is where the fun stuff is. The section

is called When my external IP changes... and is where you define what happens

when your IP changes. By default, none of these options is enabled. As of this

version of MonitorIP, it can do the following things:

E-mail me - This sends an email to a recipient. Pretty obvious, eh?

Post it to my MonitorIP account - You can sign up at https://www.MonitorIP.us/ and

post updates to the site. It's helpful if you are trying to keep track of

multiple computers running MonitorIP.

FTP it to a server - Lets you post a file containing the IP information to

an FTP server.

Execute a command - Launch one or more programs locally on your computer.

Popup a tray notification - Just show a tray notification when the IP changes

Post to custom URL - Works with providers like Namecheap or any other dynamic

DNS server that allows you to post data to update a hostname. Supports both

POST and GET methods.

Each of these settings, except the popup one, has a corresponding button that

will open the extra settings for each method. The settings for each is fairly

self-explanatory as well. If you need help figuring one of them out, feel

free to get in contact using the contact info at the end of this readme file.

Finally, you can also enable Logging in the application. If you don't really

want to send the information anywhere else, you can still log to a file

locally and check on it periodically. This log can be accessed by choosing the

option on the system icon's right-click menu.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me and

I'll try my best to respond as soon as possible.
