Umm use like no ip or another dynamic DNS service…just enable port forwarding on your router(poer 3389 for RDP) and enable remote desktop… ---

> [@justa4door](#): > > [logmein.com](http://logmein.com) Bingo. Quality program. I use it for my family and friends too so when they call me telling me they borked their PC I can remote to it and fix it from the comfort of my couch. ---

I like [logmein.com](http://logmein.com) if I am on a dynamic IP address through TW (Mostly all homes) The IP doesn’t matter that way. Logmein is installed on the home computer, and you log in through the website. Easy and no router experience necessary. ---

Logmein RealVNC TightVNC And several others which allow control via a web-browser. Logmein is probably the simplest. ---

I just use Windows Remote Desktop. Setup the port forwarding in your router for any traffic coming in on port 3389, probably under the heading “Applications and Gaming” or something similar. My IP address with Time Warner has changed once in the last 2 years, and that was when they made a big change from Adelphia hardware to TW hardware. When I need to log into someone’s computer to help them troubleshoot remotely I use [www.teamviewer.com](http://www.teamviewer.com) It’s free, and I’m yet to see it get blocked by a firewall. ---
