Hello

I have a home computer with WinXP and believe I have set up the VPN properly by building an Incoming network connection. Because this computer connects to the internet via DSL, I have no idea how to determine the IP Address of that machine so that I can use Remote Desktop when I have my laptop outside of the house.

The Home computer is connected directly to the DSL Modem

1. How do I determine my Home computer's IP address
2. What address do I enter into the laptop Browser window to use Remote Desktop via Web
3. Where can I find concrete information for setting up the Home computer's Incoming Network Connection to make the above possible

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Have a look at dynamic dns services eg www.dyndns.org . These often offer
free accounts. You'll also need some client software running on your pc to
update the IP address record on their Name Servers when necessary. You
should find a list of these on the dynamic dns service web site or you can
do a google.
