So long as both your machine and the other machine have DNS entries so they can use DNS to look up the other machine's IP address, then it should work.
At one stage, the IP address of a qmgr needed to be fixed, but as of (I think) MQ 5.2, the IP address can move so long as the DNS name remains fixed. Paul Clarke is the right guy to say when the change was made. If you are using a dial up connection (or DSL) via an ISP with a dynamically assigned IP, you won't be able to make this work unless your ISP has allocated your machine a DNS name and additionally implements DDNS to ensure that their DNS servers will dish up the current IP address assigned to your machine. If there are firewalls in the picture, you may need to configure those to let your MQ traffic through.
