O.P. Remote IP address
Hi there

Im sitting on my littlebrothers PC - my homePC is online, hence MSN says my PC is online

I want to remote admin my PC using Windows Remote - but my IP has changed


i've tried sniffing IP-packets - and using MSNplus Ping function, but the destination/source ip seems to be a router/proxy


any tricks i could try ??

RE: Remote IP address
No.

What you really need to do is at home set up some sort of Dynamic DNS Service such as No-IP (http://www.no-ip.com/) where a client runs on your machine at home, detects when your IP changes and updates a DNS record for your domain so you can access it via hostname (example.no-ip.com) instead of the IP address.

You could also check out DynDNS: http://www.dyndns.com/

Another solution if you have some sort of web space is to use something like Dynamic IP monitor which uploads a file to your web site (via FTP etc) whenever your IP address changes - this means you can just call that file in your browser and have your most recent IP

No IP works really good.

Maybe you'll need to forward some ports too.

RE: Remote IP address
Phone the ISP, and give them your username and password (if you use a PPP service) and they *might* be able to tell you your IP.

RE: Remote IP address
Would anybody be willing to write a script that responds to a user's message? Ie, you login somewhere and say "tellmeyourip" to your own logged in user and you get your home ip address?

Actually; it shouldn't be that hard.

Simply when a message with the value "tellmeyourip" is recieved, the client sends back (!IP)

RE: Remote IP address
code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
if (Message == "tellmeyourip")
    {
    ChatWnd.SendMessage("(!IP)");
    }
}
No login or whatever, but it works. (I don't really see the need for a login anyway, if you're worried about people triggering it, just set the trigger to something really obscure. I just don't think the login system is worth it. :p)

RE: Remote IP address
Thanks. Regarding the login, it's fine. I'll only turn on the script for one day anyway. So it's no use.

I really should start learning to script.
