Another WAN IP plugin

[orbitalstarfish]

This is my 1st plugin so i apologise if you don't like it or find it buggy(works fine for me).

I have seen that there is a workaround for this but I wanted to try writing a plugin so this seemed like a good idea.

This plugin will display your wan Ip, ISP details and local IP, it works using the rss feed from www.showmyip.com

requires .NET 2

Instructions:
copy wip.dll to LCD Smartie plugin directory
then add these lines to LCD Smartie

$dll(wip,1,0,) function 1 shows Wan IP
$dll(wip,2,0,) function 2 shows ISP detail
$dll(wip,3,0,) function 3 shows Local IP

This plugin updates every 15 minutes as showmyip.com has a max 0f 199 hits per IP per day

if you have any problems please leave a post or message for me thanks

Edit:
Opps:
Have just been looking around the board and noticed there is a very similer looking plugin by Krisp
should have looked harder before i started writing it!!!
if anyone has any ideas for a plugin let us know and i will have a go at it got a quite of bit of time on my hands at the minute, but cant promise anything

Hi

Is it possible to change the hit time to something else like
every six hours.

To frequent a hit might generate a DDS to the showmyip.com servers.

If a million people used this plugin set @ 15 min then they would see
a lot of hits that might look like a DDS.

If the demand for this plugin got that great i would be well chuffed and then maybe worth me digging out the code to change it but as it has only been download 25 times so not worried at the minute but thanks for the input
