I am new to this forum so if this question is in the wrong area, please accept my apologies. Also, I already posted this in the Visual Basic Forum but am not having success. Perhaps I am posting to the wrong forum so if anyone can please suggest where this should be posted I would appreciate it. Thank you.

I am looking for some help to do the following:

I have a host computer running Windows XP Professional. I would like to write a code that would tun on the host computer, say every minute, that would cause the host computer to go to a specific URL (http://whtismyip.com), read the IP on that web page, and automatically email that IP to an email address.

Can anyone offer some advice how to do this in the best and easiest possible manner? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

You could use the windows task manager to launch a process on a timed basis.

I know you can look inside the registry for the default browser, & send it a URL. After that, you'd have to find a way to scrape the web page for the ip.
