Hi, I will try to brief as I know some of you will probably see what im trying to do..
What I am trying to do is have the IP address of the machine compare its IP to the IP that is on the server. I am trying to get it to read the first two octets (10.122.x.x). If the first two octets are different then that of the IP on the server I would like it to send a email to notify that the computers IP has been changed. The reason for this is to keep track of the computer. We have several schools and each school is distinguished by the second octet ("school 1" 10.111.x.x, "school 2" 10.122.x.x". I have the naming of the computer and the email set, I am just stuck on it comparing the first to octets.. Any help is appreciated.
