Newbie question about firewall

Hello to the group!

This is my first post here, hope the question is not silly. I've read the 
faq but that didn't help, so I hope the brain trust will have an answer :)

I've got a computer (Win2k) with RealVNC Server and ZoneAlarm firewall 
running. I want to connect to that computer from my home computer using VNC 
viewer. I'm connect to Internet via dial-up connection, so my IP address is 
dynamically assigned and therefore always changes. The computer I want to 
connect to has a static IP address I know.

Now, the faq says that in this situation I need to 'Add client' on Server 
side, but the problem is I don't know the IP address I will be assigned the 
next time I dial my ISP from my home computer...

Is there a way I can make this connection work? If needed, I can change the 
firewall (it doesn't have to be ZoneAlarm, as long as it is free).

Thank you for your help!


Kind regards,
Goran Tomas
