Q: I have remote desktop connection setup at my aunts machine will run in another country, so I can help her from time to time and it worked fine for charter changes the dynamic IP and I have to go through the headache of running it by getting me the new IP address. Is there a way to organize a bat run ipconfig and send the results via an e-mail file once every two weeks or so?
Best Answer: Do you have control over the website/server in which you want to upload the files to?
There's a bunch of ways to accomplish what you want, the batch process could be an ftp call to send x files from x directory to x directory on x server.
To accomplish any of the many possibilities,however, you would need an FTP/SSH etc. username/password in order to do this.
If you do not have this, or control over the destination server, then no, I don't believe you're going to do this without being granted further access.

BUt if ur using a router, most routers have to ability of sending the log to an e-mail address so when a new ip is changed on the router u get a log of it.

hmm, so the subject had ur ip address ?
what the hell its not working for me
Yup, Outlook Express loaded up, then new message screen popped up, and my email address was in the first line, and the IP address was in the subject line.
Another thing to consider is if the computer is behind a router. In my case at work, the IP that IPconfig reads is my LAN address, not the public IP. If she's behind a router, then just reading from IPconfig won't work.

Re:I copy and pasted your 3 lines into Notepad and saved it as IP.bat. I just doubleclicked on the BAT file and it loads up my default mail client with the address and subject in the correct places. I wasn't prompted to hit enter at any time.

Re:don't think that will work. Is is possible to run start mailto from the command line?….I don't think so.
Yes it does work give it a try
ipconfig | findstr "IP Address"
for /f "tokens=15" %%a in ('ipconfig ^| find "IP Address"') do @set addr=%%a
start mailto:9smiak@en.com?subject=%addr%
this works when instered into a batch file now, just i have to press enter 3 times before the ip address is setup in the subject,, i have no idea why but i am trying to figure it out

Re:@echo off
echo Put IP address into file…
ipconfig.exe >IP-to-file.tmp
echo Leave only lines that contain "IP Address"
FINDSTR /I /C:"IP Address" IP-to-file.tmp >Computer-IP-address.txt
del Computer-IP-Address.txt
echo done
this will get u the IP address
open the IP-to-file.tmp with notpad and u should see the ip , subnet gateway, tryting to figure out how to email it.
Re:I used to do this using a program called IPMonitor that could sent out an email or upload a custom HTML everytime the IP address changed. However, since switching to a DynDNS.org account, it's been uninstalled from my system.
Re:Also,
If she is behind a router, some routers will actually support a given Dynamic DNS service.
I know that both Linksys and D-link do this. Not sure about others.
Re:Thats a good solution ! I forgot about that. maybe be the best way to go
Re:You could set her up with a dyndns.org account, they're free. I use one for my Remote Desktop connection to home. Just have a small client (a number of them are listed on the website) running on her system, which will routinely update the dyndns.org database with any IP udpates.
