Look at this website for very detailed info on your IP Addr etc.

Electronics Project : Water Computer

Well, the project is started and 2 friends involved :-)
We had a lightning strike to our house and various equipment is blown so I decided to kick off my long awaited home automation project and will start with the irrigation as all my ferns is suffering ....

We decided to go with a PIC and not a Linux PC as the "intelligence" as we want something that can be self sustained even through power outages etc.
This led to the "What Chip?" and we will be using the PIC 16F84a as that was laying around at home :-)

Will keep you posted with the details of the project etc. at a later stage.
