Connect to dynamic IP address


Hi there,

How can I connect to my computer that has a dynamic IP address.

The IP address is a public one, so connected directly to the world.

Thank you.

Cheers

I am not sure I understand the question. There is no difference between connecting to a machine with a static IP and one with a dynamic IP, you just connect to whatever the IP address is.

If you are asking how to always keep track of a machine with a dynamic IP, then you are going to need to look into domain names and DNS. Since this is a machine on the Internet, you need to register a domain name (either from a free provider, or buy one), and set the machine up to update the domain name with it's current IP every so often.
