If you use managed API, you can use NotifyIpInterfaceChange (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa814450%28VS.85%29.aspx) or NotifyAddrChange (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366329%28VS.85%29.aspx) API to monitor changes of IP addresses a local computer.

Hi Oleg, I have not much experience in doing this one. But Thanks very much for your suggestions.

It is VERY easy. Just call `NotifyAddrChange (NULL, NULL)` inside thread. The function will wait till a cahnge in IP. Then call `GetAdaptersInfo` or `GetAdaptersAddresses` to give all current IPs and much more. If you want to know what is changed you have to keep the previous values of all IPs. You can do this in a `while(TRUE)` loop inside of one working thread.
