I am trying to establish a remote desktop connection with my home PC that is
connected to the Internet via a cable modem. With that said of course my IP
addresses changes every so often. I seem to recall an application that will
allow one to create a "Virtural static IP" address.
Any idea what that mght have been?
You could use something like <http://www.dyndns.org/> to assign to
your ISPs dynamic ip address then all you have to remember is the dns
name no matter what the actual ip is.
I use to use MSFT's Remote Desktop when it first came out & there
were some security issues so I switched to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but with that you
need to know the ip address. One way around that & I believe it was
suggested here is to send yourself an email message that triggers an
auto reply & the reply will have your machines ip address in it. Once
you have your router setup the way that you want & have the auto
reply message at your remote location then just startup [EMAIL PROTECTED],
keyin the ip address & you're a go for launch. ;-)
