So im at work on my Windows PC,
And my Mac is sitting at home with Back To My Mac turned on...
Is there a way to use the Back to my mac to access my Mac using a VNC Client on my PC..
I guess what im asking is..
Is there a way to find out my IP address at home using .mac account
or is there a vnc server address i can enter that uses my .mac account (What would leopard use as a VNC server address when trying to access another mac using Bac to my mac)
I have used VNC before, i just don't know my IP address, and would like to do this instead of setting up DNS services..
Thanks..

Oh no, you can't do that, the eeeeeeevil corporation may spy on you. This guy needs to figure out his IP address, maybe setup dynamic DNS, poke a few holes in his firewall, and he'll be all set.

Three links that explain it very well. I also like the fact that they talk about security options. I have used hamachi to setup a VPN.
