Hi,

Is there any software or any way that we could have a remote control over
client(s)
Which does not have fixed IP?
I'm one of my company system administrators, and currently we need to
support remote site clients.
But, the difficult part is that the client have a dynamic IP.
Thus, is there any tools to help?
Even it needs to be launched from the client side.


What about timbuktu from Netopia? It only requires that the user tell you their IP address or DNS name (simpler if you use dynamic DNS) and you can connect to their computer and they have to allow you access.
