Need to monitor when IP Address changes

[Brian John]

Thanks, but I don't really need Dynamic DNS.  I just want to be able to 
find out what my home computer's ip address is at any given time.  I'd 
rather not pay anything because I know that this is something that I 
could probably do myself with a script.  I would really like to learn 
how to do this myself.
