I occasionally VPN into my sbs 2003 server. Unfortunately we have a dynamic public IP and it will change on an unregular basis. Is there some tool or script etc that will provide me with the Public ip associated with our LAN so that I can login remotely?

That is can I have the public IP sent to me on command or a regular basis via email or something?


Thanks...

Yeah yeah I know get a Static Ip...we will but we're getting ready to move the office. Once that move takes place we will be implementing a static IP.
 
You should look into dynamic dns. Check out dyndns.org - you get one host for free, and there's a tool for updating this host every time the external ip changes.
