That means nothing if the two values are not always accurate. If your code
is detecting changes every 5 seconds, then at least one of those values is
not accurate. That suggests a bug in the way you are obtaining the IPs in
the first place before comparing them. Please show your actual code.

Not if you are obtaining incorrectly to begin with.

Again, please show your actual code. Are you taking multiple network
adapters into account? Perhaps the OS is returning the IP list in a
different order each time you query for the current IP, such that you are
actually comparing the IPs from different adapters each time.

It is even harder to debug when you don't show what youare actually doing to
begin with. These are programming support groups, afterall. A fresh pair
of eyes can sometimes find bugs that have been staring you in the face for
hours/days at a time.

Then please show the actual code.
