       DynamicIP version 1.00

NOTE: The original utility named DynaIP on which this utility is based 
is shareware and is written by PJ Naughter ([e-mail]) and the 
author did not ditributed its source code. The original utility can be 
found at http://www.naughter.com. The icon used in DynamicIP is stolen
from DynaIP :) as well as the web pages included with the original
utility (after some changes).
========================================================================

Welcome to DynmicIP v1.00, A utility to allow you to post your dynamic IP 
address to your web site. This is the case for most internet users who 
connect to the internet through an ISP which assigns them a different IP 
address each time they connect.

Making the IP address of your machine widely available, allows other
people on the internet to connect to your machine as if your machine was
like any other permanent site on the internet. You should be aware that
by making your IP address public, leaves your machine open to the same
security risks normal internet sites have to cope with, so make sure you
are aware of the security issues first.

DynamicIP supports multihomed hosts, the refresh button allow the IP
address(s) to be retreived immediately. Select the IP address from the 
list box that you want to post to your site.


HISTORY:

V1.00 (28 October 2000) 
	First public release.

V1.01 (02 November 2000)
	Added ToolTips support.

V1.02 (14 November 2000)
	Some minor bug fixes in the ParseFile() function.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: 

The program is for Win32 only and has been tested on Windows 95
(OSR-2.5). You must have the MFC 4.2 dlls installed.You must have the 
MS wininet.dll properly installed.

USAGE: 

IP Address: This is a list of the IP addresses currently assigned to 
			your machine. A listbox is used to allow it to report multiple 
			IP addresses if you have a multihomed machine. The refresh 
			button updates the list. 
FTP Server:	This is the FTP site to upload your files to. This would 
			normally be something like "ftp.yourisp.com" or just 
			"yourisp.com" depending on how you normally upload files 
			to your web site. 
Username:	The FTP username to use. This will normally NOT be 
			"anonymous". This should be the username you use when you 
			upload Web pages to your Web site. 
Password:	The FTP password to use. Again this will normally NOT be 
			your email address. 
Online 
Local File: 
			This is the local web page to send up to your web site to 
			indicate that you are currently online. The little button 
			beside the edit box allows you to change the filename using a 
			standard file selection dialog. 
Offline 
Local File: 
			This is the filename to send just before you disconnect from 
			the internet to inform everyone that you are offline. 
Remote 
Directory:	This is the directory of the FTP server where you want to 
			store the page on. This will normally be something like 
			"/" or "/www". Remember this will in most cases be on a 
			UNIX box so the file system is case sensitive and uses "/" 
			instead of "\" to separate directories. 
Remote
Filename:	This is the filename you want the PUT file to be stored as. 
			When you are setting up your Web site you should include a 
			link somewhere to this file so that users can get to this 
			page which informs them if you are currently online. 
Send:		These two buttons allow you to do the actual FTP "PUT" on 
			the two files you have specified.

Two samples web pages are provided which you can start to use straight away. 
There are online.htm and offline.htm. If you examine these files using your 
HTML editor or just Notepad, you can customise their look and feel to fit in 
with your web site design.

 
SUPPORTED TEMPLATE VARIABLES:

Currently the supported template variables in the template HTML pages are: 

<IPADDRESS> will be replaced with your real IP address. 
<DATE>		will be replaced with the date of posting the file formatted 
			according to your control panels international settings. 
<TIME>		will be replaced with the time of posting the file formatted 
			according to your control panels international settings. 

To see how to use the template variables, have a look at the 2 samples web pages. 
The use of the standard "<>" syntax allows the variables to be displayed as HTML 
Markups in the Microsoft Frontpage html editor.

PLANNED ENHANCEMENTS: 
	Support extra FTP options such as Passive transfer etc.
	Support asynchronous FTP puts to allow the UI to remain responsive while 
	the PUT is progressing.
	Support extra template variables. If you have any other suggested variables 
	please let me know so that I can incorporate them into the next version of 
	DynamicIP.
