How can I get a message when my public dynamic IP address changes ? I need the message with as small a delay as possible from the moment when the public IP address changes. I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS.
I assume my machine has to be the Internet gateway router and have two network ports so its DHCP client can be used. It could be useful if my hardware router could send me the message instead, although I realize that this would open up a multitude of questions about the router, which is why I assumed my Linux box must serve as the router.
I tried running tracert to an external web site to try to discover my public IP address, but it does not. Why not ?
Thank you in advance.
