thx bob.
it's definitely not a static ip.. but can i buy a static IP just to use for remote desktop ?
coz' one of my friend said he bought 2 static ip addresses for his office just to use the remote desktop.. Well, he actually said it' was for netmeeting to troubleshoot his office pcs. I couldn't differentiate between netmeeting and remote desktop.. and what's remote assistance .. aren't they all same ?
