I tend to use either Salt or SSH clients to access my equipment (sometimes x11vnc) but then I'm a Unix/Linux bod. When connecting to remote Windows boxes, I'd go for TeamViewer as it's the easiest option.

With regard to your possibly dynamic IP address for your home equipment, you'd need a client to be able to update that IP on DNS when it changes - this means that you will then be able to connect from wherever, whenever. I use the service at https://freedns.afraid.org for two of my domains.

Windows client: http://www.nesociety.org/community-s...ter-service-4/

You can sign up for free, and I chose one from uk.to - mine is as advised on my PM to you earlier today. Your Windows PC app/client should recognise a change in IP address, upload it to the DNS service website and your new IP should resolve rather quickly in practice - say for example delboy.uk.to
