Another question. How about if your IP is not static? Does anyone know a way for you to find the IP of your machine remotely if it got disconnected and had to reconnect automatically? Or maybe there is a way for OSX to get its own current IP and send it to you by email, etc each time it starts a new connection?

I don't know how to get the address directly, but I know of a way.
If you use PPP, you can use this to get the IP:

I use DYNDNS.org for this. It works great. You merely sign up for a free (donations accepted) account. It will be 'username.dyndns.org' when you want to reach it. (with "username" being whatever you choose when signing up.) Prior set-up of a dynamic dns client is required. I highly recommend DNSUpdate (by Julien Jalon) -- can be found at: http://mapage.noos.fr/jalon/ (last time I checked.)

This was a really great tip! I just signed up for dyndns.org and installed the also great and simple to use DNSUpdate. My question is now how to make Apache work over dyndns.org. After turning all the sharing options in the sharing panel I can telnet and ftp to my new host but when I try to access it by WWW I get Apache's "not properly configured" page. The rudimentary index.html in my Sites folder states that I should see an address next to Network Identity in the sharing panel but there is none and neither is there an IP. Typing in my dyndns.org host name doesn't help either. Any ideas?

How about:
Try: IP Reporter
Try IP Reporter, it will send you an email (to an html based email service) if your IP address has changed. |
