There are lots of ways to check your IP, first and foremost most dhcpcd's support running a script if your IP changes (and I assume something similar is possible if the NAT box is running NT/2000?), you can periodically (and automatically, out of cron or something) connect to a remote host you have an account on and check your IP from there. Also, googling for "What is my ip" returns a scary number of sites whose only purpose in life appears to be to tell you your IP.
