Matthew, Finding your IP address is probably not that difficult, but unless you choose a particularly poor password, finding that out is what prevents an attacker from entering your system.
If you have a set of machines that you will be accessing remotely, you might prefer to try VNC Enterprise Edition, which allows incoming connections to be authenticated against local Windows system accounts, and also protection against session snooping and tampering.
