Well, first, private-ip-of-remote-XP-machine is dynamic, given by my ISP's dhcp server, so I cannot have 100% guarantee that it will always be the same. And I have no easy way of finding it out if it does change.
Can't you use one of those free dyndns-thingies? That way you'd always connect to my.homecomputer.com (or something) instead of an arbitrary ip.
Umm, no, not when my IP address is 10.0.1.2.3 or such --- it is not publicly visible, so dns is useless.
Best, :-) Marko
