Host computer behind router

[Greg Hall]

I have been successful in using the Remote Desktop feature when accessing a
host computer connected directly to the internet. However, I am now trying
to access a host computer that shares an internet connection via a router.
The ISP provides a dynamic IP address, so (I think) all 5 computers on the
peer to peer network are sharing a single IP address, which probably
changes.

Can Remote Desktop be used in this instance, and how would it work? If I
simply enter the shared IP address as "Computer Name", how would the router
direct it to the appropriate computer?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Greg,

Check out my small page that illustrates how to do that...
