    Hi all,

    I am looking for a secure way to remotely connect via RDP (or a more secure equivalent if it exists) to my notebook at home which is running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. My ISP (BT) does not provide a static IP address so I am guessing I will also need a way to lookup the assigned IP address via a dynamic DNS server running on the internet.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Thank you.

    set you your router to use DynDNS or equiv to use a domain name to find your location.

    Thanks guys. The guide seems straightforward enough and I will take a look at DynDNS.
