How to email IP address

[CaptRage61]

Does anyone know of any simple programs or scripts that will email a computers ip address to a specified email. Here is why I would like to use it. I currently have a webserver that I am just playing around with but I have a dynamic ip address that changes about every 8 days. So what I would like it to email the new address to my email account. And I need it to email the external ip address assigned by my ISP not the local address. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Go to

http://www.dyndns.org.

It's a free dynamic IP updater service.

Follow my IP fmip.org allows you to see 'your' IP on a web page, if that helps.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

I checked out the dyndns.com and that looked pretty good, I will have to try that out. I just hope that it will do what I want. I am behind a router so it is a little harder to see the external ip. The reason that I wanted it emailed is so that it can be updated even if I am not at the server when it changes. I just hope that some of those config tools for it will work.

Thanks
