TrueIP - Log your dynamic IP address change history
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:41 am
Have you ever wondered how frequently your dynamically allocated WAN IP address is renewed by the local ISP ?
Admittedly, not an information of earth shattering import to track down, but interesting tidbit all the same, (at least to me... )
Of course, we already have Robin Keir's IP2, the ultimate concise tool (14k) to display the current allocated WAN IP address.

However, short of running IP2 continuously in some kind of batch file scheduled for execution at pre-set intervals,
there is an easier alternative:
TrueIP, a small (166k) utility that will do all the work for us: http://w3.haztek-software.com/apps/trueip.html
Designed to run in the system tray, this unobtrusive tool will continuously monitor (and log) your IP address changes
· Tracks internal and external (WAN) IP addresses
· Notifies when your IP changes, via E-mail, FTP, pop up notification, or an optional online service called TrueIP Online
· Logs your recent IP addresses for review of change history at a later date
· Runs in the system tray wasting no space on the desktop and using minimal system resources
Current version 2.0 here http://w3.haztek-software.com/files/Tru ... nstall.exe
The *.install exe package was built with InnoSetup installer (package version detected: 5310).
To sidestep full installation, unpack with innounp.exe (0.38) http://innounp.sourceforge.net/
(or Universal Extractor with up-to-date innounp module) to dump the files in a folder of your choice,
then run trueip.exe.
Tested under winXP.
