I am looking for a program that would monitor IP address of the local XP Pro
box and send an email if it has changed. The connection is set up with a
cable modem connected to the ethernet adapter.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Regards,

You could write a script that gets the IP address using netsh, writes it
to a file, and schedule it to periodically run and check the current IP
against the saved one. There are free emailers for Windows (I've used
one before) that is can be called from your script to send you the
changed of address.
