Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>work_remotely (more info?)

I have a Vista Business PC on a small network behind a NAT router. The
PC obtains its IP address dynamically from the DHCP server built into
the rounter. There is no DNS server on the network. Is there any way to
connect to that PC from a remote location using Remote Desktop?

Thanks for your reply. I guess my question was not clear. I know how to
forward 3389 and I use no-ip.com with great success. The problem is
that, as far as I can tell, in order to forward 3389 to the PC behind
the router that PC must be configured with a static IP address. It
cannot get a dynamic address from the DHCP server that is built into
the router. Is that correct?

Or you have to turn on remote management for the router and connect to it
first via a web browser and make sure the port forward is pointed to the
correct IP (attached device) on the router...

Truthfully - depending on the router/settings - unless your machine is off
for 12+ hours (sometimes more for home routers, sometimes less) you will
more than likely keep the same internal IP. If you only have one PC
connecting to your router - you will likely get the same IP every time. Wink
