Many dynamic DNS service provider give free service for end user to obtain a permanent host name for their PCs which are usually assigned dynamic IP addresses, eg. cable modem, DSL line or even on a dial up. Examples of such service providers are http://www.dyndns.org, http://www.no-ip.com and many more. As a result of using such a service, the Watcher PC will have a permanent host name which is much easier to remember, e.g. yourname.abc.com. At RemoteView end, you only need to enter the hostname and it will automatically find the current IP address of the Watcher PC and connects to it.
