Show My IP Software is one of the easy to use tools displaying your external IP, while also offering a pack of extra utilities to get more information on your network connection.

It's almost impossible to get lost in the main interface, mostly because it's all minimal and shows the external IP right in the main window. You can also copy or refresh the IP to get updated information whenever your want.

But several other goodies are hiding under the “Tools” menu, where besides the “Log Viewer” and the “Settings” screen, you can also find a so-called “Network Info Tool”.

Specifically designed to get information on your network connection, this particular utility shows the MAC address, connection type, speed, operational status and IPv4/IPv6 support.

While the Ping and the Trace Route Tools have pretty self-explanatory names, the IP address resolver can resolve a list of site URLs, showing the IP addresses in a dedicated panel right in the main window.

The “Settings” menu is a must visit as well because it lets you configure the timer and thus set up the auto external IP check, but also the type of notifications to be sent once an IP change is detected. You can for instance play a sound, send an email, start an application or simply issue a notification.

Simply put, Show My IP Software is an effective tool that shows your external IP and a lot more. It provides a great amount of information concerning your network connection, while getting along fine with all Windows versions.
