Remote control of Ubuntu machine from web using dynamic DNS to reach my home LAN
Hi
I have a Virgin internet line which did not offer static IP address so I have put in place dynamic DNS which I know works as I use it to remotely configure my internet router from the internet.
The URL is http://philipanderson.homedns.org and there is a port number set as well.
Now at home I have a great app called KMyMoney which runs on Ubuntu.
What is the easiest, simplest, best (including fastest experience/interface) method of logging in to this machine remotely and working on this app from over the internet??? I have quite a fast 10MBPS line.
PS I do like IT but am not terribly experienced with Linux command line language so please explain any steps carefully ! I am pretty familiar with the Ubuntu GUI though.
Thank you
Philip

I would be connecting over the internet using a standard XP machine - would I still need VNC to connect to my Ubuntu?
