Windows users have plenty of third-party tools like GotoMyPC, TeamViewer, etc. to overcome the Public IP problems.
Now, TeamViewer is available for Linux also.

FWIW - another cool trick that works for my operations. 1. Pay Rs. 1000/year to MTNL (Mumbai) for a static IP Triband DSL. 2. I have my company DNS served by a gratis DNS service like everydns.net (they were recently bought by DynDNS) but there are still other free DNS hosting services. 3. Define a hostname eg. <dslwanport.mydomain.com>. 4. With full disclosure to client, define a port forwarding rule at client router to let my staff enter into their network from <dslwanport.mydomain.com>, directly from our office systems. 5. Next step remote network monitoring using above concept. The Rs. 83.33/month for static IP is well worth it. Alternately, you can map your dynamic IP via DynDNS as well but that would using one of their domain names. The static IP also allows me to come into my office LAN when I am on the road, I point my client to <dslwanport.mydomain.com>. FWIS, also take a look at TeamView, Logmein etc. for remote administration/access (free for non commercial use). -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
