Remote Desktop Question

surely he needs to get real vnc or tight vnc.
no, remote desktop works fine, and better over the net

the best route to take is to use hamachi no need to even port forward then
 
In all honesty, I think the easiest way would be Logmein. No port forwarding or proxies to worry about - it's just straight through an internet browser (IE or Firefox, and presumably Opera) via the Logmein site. Simple as. Free for a single PC host too.

-edit, if you have a router, your ip probably won't change ever (not on ntl anyway), not sure what its like on adsl

i think ntl reserve your ip for up to 3 days until you connect again
On ADSL it's normally a dynamic IP unless you pay extra (not much extra, but there you go).

I'm on a dynamic IP, so use DynDNS to constantly update my IP address to a server on the interweb. Might lose a connection once in a while, but my connection is plenty stable enough for it never to have happened yet.

on ntl its dymanic too, but they seem to reserve the ip for you unless you're offline for ages

does it work like this with adsl? or if you re-dial, does it change it
 
ok, cheers for info :), i used to use no-ip.com but then i realised my ip hadn't changed for like 2 years :p
