What’s New In NetInfo 7.4
- Added: Ability to discover your external IP address.
An external IP address is the unique identifier assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You need to know your external internet IP Address from time to time for the following reasons:
– To allow users to connect to you with software such as Radmin, PCAnywhere or Remote Assistance.
– So that associates can establish a VPN connections and map drive letters to your computer or network.
– For IP filtering so that only machines from your external IP address are allowed access.
– For establishing links to home computer or server from the Internet.
- Added: Auto-complete feature.
If you are tired of typing long host names you do not remember the exact syntax, you can use the auto-complete feature. Just enter the first few characters of the host name you want to use, and a relevant host name automatically appears in the field you are typing in. To use a host name, just press Enter. Auto-complete selects host names based on the data in your history.
