Re: Any remote client - without fixed IP

Adam,

You can use Dynamic DNS.  Essentially, you would install a small
utility on the machine which acquires its IP dynamically.  You would
register this machine with for example, dyndns.org.  This utility
would then update the DNS servers of dyndns.og everytime the IP
address changes.  You could then simply access the machine using its
DNS name.

Using dyndns.org has a cost, however, you could just as easily write a
script to say email you or update a webpage when the IP changes.

Hi,

Is there any software or any way that we could have a remote control over
client(s)
Which does not have fixed IP?
I'm one of my company system administrators, and currently we need to
support remote site clients.
But, the difficult part is that the client have a dynamic IP.
Thus, is there any tools to help?
Even it needs to be launched from the client side.

Thanks.

Adam
