Is is possible to have a remote desktoip connection (not remote assistance)
between 2 home computers (DLS and cable broadband connections and dynamic IP
addresses)?
 
yes, but if the remote PC uses dynamic IP addresses, you will need help
from somebody to figure out what IP address to use to connect to the
remote (unless the remote PC is always on, it never crashes, you know
the IP address of the remote PC when it was connected to the ISP, and
the remote PC has a connection that never fails).
 
That's quite easy if you use a dynamic naming service like No-IP.com which maps a fully qualified
domain name to the ISP assigned IP address (DHCP or static)... I do that all the time...
