IS Dynamic IP a problem for remote Connection..???

[techciscouser]

When I work from home I use VNC. Until yesterday my VNC was working fine....And then it said connection failed. And when I checked my IP was changed by my ISP.
As after 5 pm everybody leaves and if IP changes when nobody is around...then I am sure I wont get connected.

When I am trying to connect to work compuetr; Is there a way I can come to know if my Dynamic IP of work changes ...maybe if I can get an email from website(I hope thats not asking for too much...!!!)informing me of - that my IP has been changed by my ISP & that this is the new IP.

IS there a way I can get thru this problem....
Thanks

Try using a service like dynamic dns or no-ip. I use it all the time to connect to my server at home.

Go to Dyndns.org and register for free. Create your account, install a client software on your server. After that, you can access your server by url name even when IP changes. I've been using that on multiple servers for a year now.

Thanks Akwong

I did create an account on DynDNS.org at work. I never worked with these things so I am getting confused.
I am trying to access a computer named "marchin.dnsalias.com" behind the router.And I have already opened required ports on my router. Do I need to install "Update client" software on this computer or on my server...???

Thanks

You could have the server setup to use callback feature.
