Is there anyway to connect to my home computer from work using either the physical address of the ethernet adapter or PPP adapter?

If these won't work can I use the DNS server addresses?

I can connect using the PPP adapter's IP/Default Gateway but this address changes everytime my computer is kicked off line. My home computer is on dial-up.

I'm looking for a more reliable way to connect to my home computer. before I leave the house in the moring I check the PPP adapter IP address but if it is still accurate by the time I get to work I'm lucky..

Any suggestions on the above or any other ideas would be great as well!!

Thanks!!

dynamic dns should solve your problem

free services www.dyndns.org & www.no-ip.com

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the many domains we offer, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. We provide this service, for up to five (5) hostnames, free to the Internet community.

The Dynamic DNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or just to keep a pointer back to your home PC so you can access those important documents while you're at work. Using one of the available third-party update clients you can keep your hostname always pointing to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. No more fumbling to find that piece of paper where you wrote down your IP address, or e-mailing all your friends every time it changes. Just tell them to visit yourname.dyndns.org instead!

Thanks! This will work for the PPP adapter's ip address?

Thanks a lot!
