RE: Any remote client - without fixed IP

["hartmann" <hartmann () thestar com my>]

Thanks Jeff.

VPN was once considered.
But later rejected by team leader,
As said not practical for user to get into our LAN
Because we may not know that what is installed or running in the client.

DHCP shouldn't be a problem.  That's what DNS is for.  That said, a VPN is
your best option.  Then you can use VNC, Remote Desktop, etc....after the
user has authenticated to the VPN.

Subject: Any remote client - without fixed IP

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
