IP Change Monitor1.0.1.12

Just like your house is registered under a specific address for quick and easy identification, so is your computer over the WEB. This address comes in the form of several numerical value groups known as the IP. In this regard, IP Change Monitor comes as a small tool to help keep an eye on it in case it changes in the meantime.

Choose the adapter to monitor

A cool advantage is that you can run the application right after it’s downloaded, since no installation is required to make it work. This makes sure that system registry entries are not modified in the process, and you can also carry it on a thumb drive in case you need to use it on other computers.There’s a high chance that the application isn’t capable of automatically detecting the default network adapter, especially if there are more in use, such as a real and virtual one. However, there’s the possibility to manually select it from a drop-down menu in the preferences panel which is accessed via the tray icon.

Intuitive tray area notifications

The IP address is instantly retrieved once you manage to select the adapter to monitor. It can be viewed in a small tooltip when interacting with the tray icon. Moreover, a balloon tooltip informs you whenever the address changes in case particular activities need to be manually performed.Moreover, the application is mostly handy if used with a DynDNS account. There’s a dedicated preferences menu you can use to provide credentials, and an email address for notifications. This comes in handy in case the remote PC you connect to needs to have a particular IP address.

In conclusion

Bottom line is that network configuration is best left in the hand of administrators, but simple operations like keeping an eye on the IP address for changes is easily accomplished with IP Change Monitor. It quietly sits in the tray area to inform you, and you can also use it on the go.
