    DHCP shouldn't be a problem. That's what DNS is for. That said, a VPN
    is your best option. Then you can use VNC, Remote Desktop, etc....after
    the user has authenticated to the VPN.

    Subject: Any remote client - without fixed IP

    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.

    Thanks.

    Adam
