Notify change of IP address

Does anyone know of a VBA program or script that automatically sends an email when the computer's IP address changes? I need this because the computer I connect to via a VPN uses a DSL connection and PPPOE in which the IP address changes each time the computer needs to be rebooted or every 2-3 days, whichever occurs first. When this happens I have to call someone to give me the new IP address or I must make a trip to find out what it is.

Thanks,
Ed

Thanks Diane. That was a very fast response. A tech person I spoke to recently suggested registering the computer with DDNS. However, IPMonitor looks like it will fill the bill perfectly. Thank you again.
