That page seems to be all about detecting the IP address; thanks, but 
that part was solved before I even opened this thread. Perhaps I phrased 
poorly earlier in the thread. The issue isn't how I tell what my IP 
address is, the issue is how the machine communicates the fact that it 
has changed to me even when I'm not logged into it. And this thread 
solved that.

You did say one very interesting thing that brought me up short on that 
page though; "I need to get my IP address so I can communicate it to my 
dynamic DNS provider" <paraphrasing>. I guess I need to look into that 
-- if that could be automated, then yes a dynamic DNS provider would be 
another, more automated, way to solve my underlying problem (to which I 
now have a solution I'm happy with)

Thanks

Mark
