Remote Access Support Guides 
So you want to use your PC from anywhere on the Net?
Need to make settings changes to your Windows box, but you are a hundred miles away? Would you like to use your X display for your linux box from any machine on the Net? Well have no fear, there is a solution out there for you, and it doesn't cost a penny!
What am I talking about? VNC of course. For those of you that haven't heard of VNC, it stands for Virtual Network Computing, and is made by AT&T Laboratories. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
Check it out today. You'll be impressed on how easy it is to setup and use, and the best part is that it will work with your No-IP hostname!
Note: If the machine you are trying to connect to is behind a router, ports 5800 and 5900 will need to be forwarded to the machine running VNC.

Also see Tight-VNC, an enhanced version of VNC.
If you are using a router you will need to open ports 5800 and 5900 to the appropriate internal IP.
