Hi All, I am wondering if there is already written (in the ports) some utility that would either periodically and/or on boot up, take note of if the machine is connected to the net and if so, send some information to a configured address giving some basic information such as date/time and the network address where it is connected. The intent would be to put this in laptops/notebooks belonging to an organization/business to track where they were, especially if they were stolen. I know, if they got in to the hands of professional theft ring, the first thing they would do is wipe them, but it could help track them otherwise. If there is an existing port, I have no idea what to look for or which category to look in, so some clue would be appreciated. Thanks, ////jerry
