My suggestion would be to setup a free account at www.logmein.com This will allow you to remote control your computer from anywhere via port 80. Therefore you won't have to worry about port forwarding through a router. Not to mention since your IP is always changing, you couldnt really setup port forwarding to a specific ip. Logmein can track your computer dynamically though, so it won't be a problem. Hope that helps.

let me explain in detail, the computer at work is or the cctv monitoring and its within a lan which is when i type (http://192.168.0.16:86) then i can c the live steaming on the network. and the ip for the computer is (192.168.0.2) and the router ip is (192.168.0.1) and my IPS at work is giving me a dynamic IP which mean when they test the connection of my area i'll get disconnected and give me a new ip again. but normally i will have (220.xxx.xxx.xxx).

so my question is how can i remoto control from home to work computer "(192.168.0.2)"
i know how to remote control with in a lan. but not sure how to control a computer behind
router.

Let me clarify. The above post that I have written is what would work for you. Port 80 is the Internet Port (http) and therefore can pass through the router. Since you have dynamic addressing, you will need something like logmein.com, which is free, to remote in without a problem.
