IP Monitor is one of the software applications designed to help you monitor the dynamic IP address of any workstation out there, providing a set of notifications to let you know when modifications take place.

Being able to keep an eye on both the local and the public IPs, the program not only that shows a bunch of details regarding the selected computer right in the main window, but it also provides a wide lineup of settings to configure the whole tracking process.

The main window for example shows computer name, network adapter, MAC address, local and public IP addresses, subnet mask, gateway and DNS servers, connection state, last update and status.

The “Settings” menu however is the one that’s more important because it allows you to configure most features of the app, including the main window display fields and colors.

Of course, you can configure the network adapter to monitor, but also the address type to check for changes. Plus, IP Monitor enables you to configure notification alerts, which can be popups or sounds, as well as logs for further analyzing of IP changes.

Two important features bundled into IP Monitor are the email and FTP support that let you find out about IP changes even if you’re not in front of the target machine. The application can automatically send an email when the IP changes or even connect to a FTP server to notify of the modifications.

Last but not least, IP Monitor can be protected with a password, so nobody can close the app, access the tray icon or change configuration settings.

IP Monitor works amazingly smooth on all Windows versions and is far from being a resource hog, despite the fact that it needs to run all the time to monitor the IP changes.

Overall, IP Monitor is undoubtedly a very useful application for every computer connected to the Internet through a dynamic IP. It works smooth, it remains light on hardware resources and it’s impressively user friendly.
