How to control a remote PC with dynamically assigned IP address?

You will never have problems with dynamic IP addresses if you are using Online Gateway Account connection. You don't have to know computer's IP address to connect with remote PC in this mode.

If you are working in Direct Connection mode, the IP address of Host Module could be dynamically changed. Someone on the other side could tell you the remote IP address by phone, e-mail or instant messenger, for example. After that you can connect to the remote computer using that IP address.

If you are often compelled to be connected to the remote computer with a dynamically assigned IP-address, and nobody on the remote side can tell you the current IP, you can use some of services, such as www.no-ip.com or www.dyndns.com. It will help you to know the IP address of the remote PC even if it often changes.
