Okay everyone, I have a few question regarding using tight VNC to connect to my Mac.
First off, I have read the FAQ threads on the subject and did searches but I am only able to find bits and pieces of information.
Here's what I am running at home: iMac G5, Leopard OS, connected through the internet via apple airport express which is connected to a motorola cable modem and my ISP is Cox.
I have gone into system preferences, sharing, and set my VNC password. I want to be able to connect to my Mac from my PC at work which I have installed tight VNC. I'm pretty sure that I need to open up a few ports on my airport express card, but the documentation that I have found on that states that I need to set up a static IP, but my ISP uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, so how is this possible, or do I NEED a static IP? Also what else must be done in order to connect to my MAC for simple desktop and file sharing? Thanks in advance for all the help.
