Why do you need a static IP address to use a remote desktop?
It's not true. You can use a dynamic ip address to use remote desktop! Problem with dynamic ip addresses is that it can be changed any time, and you will not able to con…nect to your PC. The best way is to use full computer name. It does not depend on ip address. (MORE)

How can I make a dynamic IP address into a static IP address every time I use the internet with Mozilla Firefox or IE 7?
I don't believe you can, you will need to contact your ISP. A dynamic IP is an address that is assigned to you temporarily when you connect to the internet. For the duration …of your stay it will remain the same (static) but when you disconnect and reconnect you will probably be given a different IP address. The address you had before will be given to someone else. If you need a static IP you have to contact your ISP (Internet service provider) and ask them to asign you a static IP so you have an IP address permantly asigned to you which you can use very time you are connected. You can not do it yourself because an IP address needs to be globally unique, you can't just pick one for yourself. It needs to be asigned to you. For most users a static IP is undesirable. If you have a hole in your firewall and a dynamic iP then every time you disconnect and reconnect any hacker who found you on the first visit will find it much more difficult to find you again because your address will be different. The only reason I know why you would need a static IP is if you want other users to be able to connect to your computer (ie Running a server.) I believe you CAN DO IT , and its rather Simple use Dyndns get a Domain Name, it's all free. You can even then if you wanted to setup a Web server, but depending on who your ISP is they might block port 80 on Dynamic IP's so if your going to use Apache in the Http.conf file just change the first line that you see port 80 on, to another port such as anything above 4000 or so. Can also just setup Remote Desktop to Remote into your computer from where ever you are and access your files that way. Just make sure you use a super secure password and I mean mix it up, also if you can make it so that if you failed after 3 login's it locks the account for about 60min or so depends on what you want to set it to. I do it this way with my web server and its works out rather nice I can run up to two Domain Names with DYNDNS and have two diff web servers running at the same time if your speed is good then it's really worth it. I know it saved me lots of times when I needed a file that was on my server at home just remote in copy to my laptop's desktop and get to work. Peace out. (MORE)

What is static IP and dyanamic IP?
A static IP address is one that doesn't change. Usually it's programmed directly into the computer or network device. Servers and routers almost always have static addre…sses. A dynamic IP address is one that can change. Usually, a computer or network printer will ask for a dynamic IP address from the network when it starts up. If there is a DHCP server on the network, then it will provide the device that's starting up with a dynamic IP address. The next time the device starts up, it might get a different IP address from the DHCP server. By the way, "DHCP" stands for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". HTH, Gdunge (MORE)
