My understanding is that by using gotomypc, you can access your pc anywhere even if it has a dynamic IP. If you use the UltrVNC server and register a FREE Domain name at NO-IP.COM, you get the same benifit. NO-IP.COM provides a small application that runs as a service to update their domain servers with your ip address. UltraVNC server opens two listening ports. One of them is used if you remotely control your pc with the UltraVNC Viewer. The other port is accessed with a browser that downloads a java application that provides the same functionallity as the UltraVNC viewer. This allows you to VNC your machine anywhere you have access to a browser. If you have an incomming firewall, you would need to route a couple of public ports to a specific machine to control. UltraVNC comes with a Redirector that allows you to control other machines on your local network from the one that is pointed to by the firewall. Best of all, UltraVNC is a Free sourceforge project, and the NO-IP.COM dynamic naming service is also free.
