Hillyheights IP Address Tracker

The Hillyheights IP-address Tracker application was designed to work alongside remote administration software where someone connects to another's computer to help them, although there may other times when it could be useful.

The problem with all these situations is that you need to know their IP-address before you can connect, but this may be dynamically assigned. The Hillyheights IP-address tracker is useful when you have a fixed IP-address, and you need to track the IP-addresses of other computers.

There are two halves to the Hillyheights IP-Address Tracker, the client and the server. The client is run on the computer, or computers, with the floating IP-address, and the server is run on the computer with the fixed address.

The client is designed to be run hidden such that it tries to send a tiny message to the server at ten-second intervals. The server can be reduced to an icon in the Windows System-Tray, which is normally at the bottom right-hand of the screen.
