I need a Windows application that will do the following: * The application will be run and the icon sitting in the notification area on the taskbar (in the area where Windows clock is located - usually a bottom-right corner of the screen). * Every X minutes the application will need to connect a given URL and do nothing (just connect to a URL like https://www.mydomain.com/myip.php) * The parameters X and URL need to be set in a setting menu that can be opened by double-clicking the icon in the notification area. The parameters need to be stored in INI file in the application's folder (not in the Windows Registry). The purpose of the application is that the PC on which it will be run is connected to the Internet with dynamic IP, which changes every time the PC is re-connected. The PC often needs to be accessed remotely, for which i need to know the current IP address of the PC. The URL is a simple web-script that will record the IP address taken from $ENV[REMOTE_ADDR] and recorded on the server to be further read and displayed by another web-script. You don't neet to worry about the web-scipts as they are done, you only need to create this Windows application. You can use any programming language, but C++ is preferred. You need to send me the source code and i will compile the app myself, as i will not trust the EXE files. Please include a designed icon and propose the name for the application. PM me your offers or post here. I expest to pay up to $20 by Paypal or Egold (your choice).
Brilliant. How didn't i think of it? Green rep to tarponkeith. PM me your paypal or egold account details, i will send you a little "thank you". Offer closed as I've done it with Task Scheduler.

Check out DynDNS.org it provides the same service. Some routers even include support for it automatically. Mine does.
