However, there is still a Windows Messenger compatible version of Plus!, that is
MsgPlus! v.3, which you used to use before. Can't you just switch to Windows Messenger while you are leaving your home? I believe you don't need the funny features in Live Messenger while you are far away from your home while you need actually a special feature of old MsgPlus!
If you don't have Windows Messenger, I believe there is still an MSN Messenger 7.0 version (revised) on Microsoft's download pages. You can find it.
Can I use Messenger Plus! 3 and Messenger Plus! Live together?
There is no way to make Plus! Live to remember a personalised status, see
CookieRevised's reply to [REQUEST] Remember Status
But if you insist on using Live Messenger, you can use
Answering Machine Plus script which I found at
Bots and Auto Talkers section of scripts database. It can send the (!IP) tag whenever you want (I suppose). Edit: You can customize the received message which will be replied with your IP, for example, givemeyourIPman, when your PC receives this message from any contact (guess who is that), it will send the IP
.
However I know you want the IP is sent only to you (personalised statuses have an filter option, so you can filter out everyone except yourself). So, it can also send an /autoip command, which you can set now for your preset "Auto IP" personalised status, (which you don't receive in fact, it will be used to restore the Auto IP status), so that you can set again that status if you can't get your home PC's IP after your first query. On the second query, it must send the IP to your laptop. Edit: I am so sorry, my bad, I supposed there is a command option for preset personalized statuses, if only there was really
.
Hope this helps now.
