Board index » Visual Studio » How to get copy and email an html page on a schedule

Visual Studio322
I have a need to open, copy and send via email an html page on a regular

basis.





I connect to my server at my house and get utilities, documents etc.

throughout the day.



On Comcast my machine was listed in their DNS even if my IP Changed, so I

could do an nslookup on their DNS and get my new address if it changed.



Verizons DHCP keeps changing my DSL IP Address and the only way to get it

seems to be from their connection summary page in the DSL itself, its a

Westell 2200.



If anyone has a way to do this without scripting it I would be glad to hear

about that too, or any other DSL hacks I can look at or use.

Take a look at www.no-ip.com/services/page/free/dynamic/dns">www.no-ip.com/services/page/free/dynamic/dns - a free

dynamic DNS service. If you're a verizon customer you might also ask around in

their internal newsgroups, e.g., 0.verizon.adsl. That's where I first heard of

this solution; there are other similar options out there.

I have done this via script and a scheduled task. The script uses

whatismyip.com to get

the IP, then sends that info in the e-mail. If interested, reply back and I

can send you

the script via e-mail. The script also supports reading from a broadband

router, but

you may need to hack that portion a bit, I only set it up to read from my

specific

router(SMC). Since your Westell2200 has a summary page, the script could get

the info

from there as well.
