Running Programs on IP Change

[Guest]

Hello,

Is there a place in the registry that allows programs to be executed upon an
IP change. I have a problem that a program needs to be initiated when the IP
changes due to a VPN client login. A program that I have designed needs to
be executed after the VPN gives me a new address. Is this doable through a
registry key. I have found the key that allows me to run programs on
startup, but I need this to be when the VPN gives a new IP to the box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Andras Vancsa

Not certain this helps, but have you considered starting your VPN
connection from a batch file that subsequently (possibly after a wait
time or a other confirmation) starts your program?

No, nothing like that would exist natively.

Not my area and OT for the OP, but it seems one might write a program
that subscribes to the SENS network events notifications....
