Why not have them register with dnydns.org (it's free) and then you could always use the same name to access their computers.
I also use ddclient to check for an IP address change every 5 minutes so I never have to go more than 5 minutes without the ability to connect. Imagine losing the remote connection and having to wait a hour to connect again if the friend isn't around to tell you the new IP address.
Thanks Ken.
ddcleint is not an option for me, as no DNS is involved. Anyway, I think that Brad's solution will work. And I'll decide about the interval. Actually, if the friend is not there, then he/she does not need the puter, and I can wait lets say 30 min :). Whatever, I guess you are right, 30 min will be real PITA, so maybe 5 or 10 ...
Cheers Sunny
ddclient ties in with dyndns.org to keep an updated IP address. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
