Remote Desktop Web Connection (xp)
i have a computer setup with >>
but i forgot to pen it down on
paper. i have my user name and
pass for the admit on the remote
computer,so how do i get the ip?
the only way to the computer is to
go out of my way to get there, and
no one is at the other computer untill
next week!
 
Well, unless someone is there to get the public IP of the machine your out of luck... Next time try
this...

Look at using one of the domain naming services the map a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN or
alias) to the public IP of the target system. In my case I use a FREE service from No-IP.com. The
No-IP.com software runs on one of my XP Pro boxes and on a time schedule basis contacts the
No-IP.com servers. The No-IP.com servers then know what my current public IP (DHCP assigned by my
ISP) is and maps that to a fully qualified domain name. That information is then propagated over the
public internet. I then call the destination PC, from a remote location, using the fully qualified
domain name. It works very well for me using
Remote Desktop or a PPTP VPN link.
