Finding a Remote IP

[Alex K. Angelopoulos]

Ronald,

FYI - when replying using a client like Outlook Express, do a "Reply All" or
it doesn't go to the mailing list. ;)

You need them to tell you the IP if you're going to connect to them. Dynamic 
DNS as Arthur mentions is one way to accomplish this.

An alternative, if it is on-demand help and YOU have a static IP (or can 
tell them what it is) is to have their server connect to you. Here's how you 
do that.
+ Start VNC Viewer on your machine with the -listen commandline option. This 
makes VNCViewer run and wait for a server to connect to IT.
+ They need to run the server with the -connect commandline option. When the 
IP box pops up, they plug in their IP address.
