I have a home PC with Vista Ultimate and connects to the internet through a
router.
My internet provider is Cox, so my IP is not static.
How can I setup my PC so I can access it from outside the home?
I only have the one admin account and do not have it setup with a password.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sign up with a dynamic DNS service. It will give your computer a DNS
name that stays the same, even when the dynamic IP address changes.
I've used http://www.dyndns.com , and you can find more by doing a web
search for "dynamic dns".

Create a password for your admin account.

You might have to enable port forwarding in your router. as described
in the "Configure Your Router" section of this article:
