Connecting over the Internet

• If the remote computer has a real IP address and is accessible via the Internet, you can connect to it directly.

  If the IP address is dynamic (different each time) then you can use any third party program to learn the IP address or to map the IP address to a static DNS name.

• If the remote computer has a virtual IP address or is not accessible directly via the Internet:
  • You can configure proxies/routers that have both direct Internet access and remote computer access for port forwarding.
  • You can use third party software for tunneling or callback connection to create a virtual TCP/IP connection.
