A static IP address is not required on the client to use the “Connect to my computer at work” feature of the Remote Web Workplace. In fact, Microsoft recommends that client computers be configured to use the DHCP Server service to dynamically assign IP addresses and avoid potential IP conflicts on the local network. Currently, only Windows Small Business Server 2003 provides proxy functionality for the Remote Web Workplace.
