I am trying to map my son's computer to mine on the internet. We both have DSL connections and are running Win 98. I have tried to use the "find Computer" by providing his IP address but have had no success. I cannot ping his computer either.
He can map mine just fine. My DSL IP address is fixed, his changes with each reboot. We both use the same service provider and were 300 miles from each other so the provider may have different local configurations for the DSL service.
In the past we could both map each others computers when he had a different DSL provider, at that time his IP address was fixed. Does the fact that his IP address is being reassigned imply he is behind a NAT's router and I can't see him?
