Accessing Dynamic IP - Solution

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

My office PC runs thru a router which obtains a dynamic IP address each day.
Is there a program out there that I can run on my PC and have it
automatically publish this IP address to a web page or some other method --
so I can get the current IP and access the machine remotely?

TIA

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
