Hi, I was wondering how I can access my computer, including an IIS web server and a VNC server over the Internet. I have so far been unable to access my computer over the Internet, which I suspect is because I do not have a static IP address. My ISP is Comcast and all the computers in my house are on a wireless network (a Linksys wireless router, model WRT54G). The wi-fi network has DHCP enabled, so all of the computers are automaticlly assigned a 192.168.1.x IP address. Is there a way I am sopposed to set up the router to allow me to access my computer and the network remotely over the Internet?

For the linux system try FreeNX. I have never used this software, but have heard good things about it.

For the Windows XP system I use Logmein.com. I have used this for 2 years now and not had any problems. This will not require a static IP address.
