IP Address Change Notify

[Guest]

Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction for programmatically getting notifications of the change of an IP address by the user?

I have an app that monitors an IP address. If the user changes the address, I need to be informed.

Thanks

Jon

There is currently nothing in the FCL, to help you with this.
When running W2K or higher you have to call the IP Helper (iphlpapi)
functions using PInvoke, or MC++.

Or another thing you can do is write your own application. I have done this
before where I used a thread to poll the computer to detect when the IP
address changes. Then you can call some event handler to notify the IP has
changed.

The IPAddress class sample code shows you how to get the IP addresses for
the local computer.
