The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Remote control using pcAnywhere without a static IP

Asked by franksmyth in Miscellaneous Networking, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Tags: pcanywhere, ip, static, without, remote

Hi,

Wasn't sure whether this should be under Apps or Networking but I think it is more a general question regarding remote control so I went for here.

Essentially what I want to do is to be able to control the Office PC using pcAnywhere from wherever I have a connection to the internet.

The Office PC is connected to a DSL broadband internet connection through a router. So it has an IP of 192.168.1.2. It is running Windows 2k.

The routers IP address is non static (at least I presume so because I haven't paid for a static IP).

Here are some of the possibilities that I have come up with while looking at this problem:
1) Port Forwarding....pcAnywhere uses 2 ports so I could tell the router to always forward these to 192.168.1.2......however without static IP for the router I think this will cause trouble....Also if I wanted to remote control one of the other machines in the office this would not work.
2) VPN.....Connect to the network using a remote access/vpn server and then become another node on the network allowing simple remote control....(Note that it is a peer to peer network)....Is this solution kind of doubling the problem or doing the same thing twice
3) Put the PC in the DMZ using the router (just saw this option on the router no idea whether it's suitable or not)
4) Use the routers virtual server capabilities. (again...just saw this option on the router no idea whether it's suitable or not)

Any suggestions or ideas most gratefully accepted.

Thanks
