Based on the above you want to reach your machine when you do not know the new IP address ?

Hi, and thanks for the prompt reply. I guess this is a start at what I would like. Can I assume then I would just VNC into my PC and check mail like that ? The ideal scenario would be for me to set up some kind of webmail server here and log in remotely - am I biting off more than I can chew ?

Himm I would set a firewall first and then allow SSH only :-)

That depends how big you can bite :-) setting up squirrel mail can be an option.

What I do is; I login via ssh and then use mutt in a console environment as Mutt is my only mailer :-)

What I did on a recent trip to Italy is take a floppy disk with a copy of putty.exe on it. Then I was able to go into any internet cafe and pop in the floppy to open an SSH link to my home system and open mutt or pine. Jim
