Here's the deal

So here's the deal. I try to keep the computer to which the cameras and weather station are attached up and running from 200 miles away. That involves monitoring the system and remotely logging into it when something goes wrong. That being said, I need the IP Address of the computer up there to remotely log in. That address is constantly changing usually I can figure out what it is. I can't right now though.

I don't know of a way to find it unless I drive up there and reset everything manually and try to figure out what happened so it doesn't do it again.

The long-term solution is to buy internet service with a non-changing (static) IP address, but that's an extra $20 a month . Also it seems that my weekends have been taken up by "other" stuff that retrospectively seems less important but somehow more urgent. I will be making it up in late July. The really frustrating thing is the computer is dutifully snapping and logging away but somehow is not posting to our on-line databases.

Trust me, I feel everyone's pain. I live vicariously through the pictures too . . . I'm all ears if anyone has a solution.
