Static & dynamic IP question

[NM]

My local IP address is dynamic but I have a website hosted in the US which has, of course, a static IP in conjunction with UltraVNC.

Is there a possibility to use the latter IP? I have looked at http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm and while it seems that the explanation is there, I am very hesitant to go ahead with it.

Your comment(s) and/or help would be appreciated.

I would use the static ip for a repeater.


Another option maybe pchelpware but it really depends on how you are using ultra vnc and what you plan to do with it..

Thanks for reply, bevtech

First off, the following sentence in my post was incorrect.

My local IP address is dynamic but I have a website hosted in the US which has, of course, a static IP in conjunction with UltraVNC.

Delete the 'in conjunction with UltraVNC' bit

The next sentence should have been "Is there a possibility to use the latter IP in conjunction with UltraVNC" but I think you understood anyway.

OK, where do I find easy to understand info about a repeater.

While I have no problem with UltraVNC within my office environment, I want to be able to
a) access computer from home so I can do some work from there, and
b) I am thinking of allowing my accountant access as well but for that I want first to see if I can restrict accountant's access to the pertaining program only and nothing else I don't want her to fiddle around with non-password protect stuff But that's a different cup of tea altogether...

well the step by steps are a good place to start

The dynamic dns service would make your dynamic ip a fixed address
