Hi all,

I use Tight VNC occasionally to connect to my home PC from work.  My ADSL is 
not a static type so I have to keep checking what my IP address is every 
time I know I will want access to my machine from work.  Does anybody know 
of a way I can keep track of what my machine IP address is without resorting 
to checking my router?  I know one day without planning in advance I may 
want access to find the IP has changed.  Or perhaps there is an alterative 
way to use Tight VNC without a staic IP?

Thanks.

Use the free version, install their app on your machine that periodically
updates them with your IP, and then use their provided subdomain to redirect
to your machine.

 My computer runs at 3.5MHz and I'm proud of that

If you leave the PC logged in "logmein.com" may work. It needs an active x 
on your office PC though
