AirPort IP Inspector Description

Monitors the WAN address of a snow AirPort base station and sens a mail notification every time the IP changes AirPort IP Inspector is a free and open source, easy to use utility monitors the external IP address of a "snow" AirPort base station, and sends an email notification to a configurable email address whenever the external IP address changes. AirPort IP Inspector is intended for folks who want to access hosts behind a base station through a preconfigured port map. For example, suppose you have a web server on your home computer, and it connects to the "outside world" through an AirPort base station. If the web server's (local) IP address is 10.0.1.2, you can access the web server from outside of your home network by configuring the AirPort with a port map that maps connections on port 80 of its external interface to port 80 on the internal host 10.0.1.1. Thus pointing your web browser to the AirPort's external IP address will access the web server - the connection is "passed through" due to the port map. Of course, this requires that you know the external IP address of the base station, and if your service provider uses DHCP, this can change. That's where AirPort IP Inspector comes in - run on the web server, monitors the base station's external IP address, and emails you when it changes so you'll know where to find your base station if its address changes.NOTE: AirPort IP Inspector works only with the snow base station. Requirements: · Java 1.6 or later
