New to VNC & networking...please help

[Chris Morris]

I am new to all of this and the "instructions" on how to configure and use
RealVNC are so vague that I don't understand how even a novice could follow
it. I'm trying to connect between two computers on my home network using a
Lynksys router. I have a PC, running XP, with a wired connection to the
router and a laptop, running XP Media Center, that is wireless. I want to be
able to access the PC from the laptop. I have the network set up and running
to where I can access files and printer, etc. from one to the other. The PC
has a dial-up internet connection. After installing RealVNC on both
machines, what is supposed to go in the "Server:" field of the viewer to
connect to the other machine? How do you find it? What if I have a revolving
IP address?
