      Method of Remotely Accessing IP Address
          
           In order to access INAVHome from a remote location or view video remotely, you must know the IP Address
           of the home computer INAVHome is running on.
          
Every computer on the internet is identified by a unique number (like 216.123.55.45) called an IP Address.
           For most people, this number changes daily if not more often.
          
           There are several web sites that will give you the IP address of your computer if you browse to them, but INAVHome
           can send it to an e-mail address for you automatically so you don't have to look it up every day.

           There are two methods for determining the IP Address of your home computer while at a remote location.
     
           *      E-mail IP Address On Startup - Fill in the information in the settings dialog and click "Test Send" to see if it
                is working correctly before you leave from the computer running INAVHome. See instructions in the help file for
                INAVRemote settings for using the IP Address to access live video from the home computer.

           *      Use a Dynamic IP Address Updater - This is a third party program that you can run on your home computer. It updates
                a database at another location by sending it your computers IP Address automatically when it changes.
                It then assigns it to a name (like mike.homedns.org) so that you can use this same name to access your computer
                every day. So you don't have to change it every day. Some of these services are free and some charge a fee.
                Price is commensurate with the level of difficulty in using it.
                Free ones are harder to use, while higher priced ones make it easier for you.
                Some web cam software companies provide and charge you for this service at an exorbitant price.
