There is no doubt, knowing when your IP# has changed is very handy, for both dynamic IP#'s and for people like me who switch their laptop between several dhcp LAN's.

Fink offers the ddclient package, which has e-mail support built in, as well as a choice between local IP# and WAN IP# updating. Of course, Fink requires the dev tools, so it's not an option to everybody, which is precisely where a script like the one listed above would come in extra handy.

Another website providing IP# discovery is simply whatismyip.com
