Recently I installed some remote control software's in my office and home pc. . But when I tried to connect to my office pc, from home using it ..it was impossible.
My office pc is connected to the internet through cable (LAN) and the pc at my home uses dialup to connect to the net..
The server of office pc starts automatically and but whenever I tried to connect to the pc, I was not able to do so, can you please tell me the reason.
Also my server was showing 192.168.0.xxx as the ip but when I checked in some web pages it was mentioned as 10.10.10.x…. can a pc have more than one ip ?
