I want to access my home pc from work, but this seems to
be the opposite of how its supposed to be. I don't know
what my hostname URL would be for my home PC because it
receives its IP form my service provider via DHCP. I am
running XP Pro at home and 2k at work. Any help would be
appreciated.
 
Look at using one of the dynamic name service providers to solve this problem. I use No-IP.com which
maps an alias (usually of your choice) to a DHCP assigned IP address. A small program runs on your
PC and contacts the No-IP.com servers on a periodic basis. The server then maps the IP of your PC to
the alias and propagates that over the public internet. It works very well for me and its FREE....
Go to http://www.no-ip.com for help. Additional like services, some FREE and some $$$$, can be found
on this page...

You would call the remote PC using the alias...
