This WAN IP can be detected, and logged on no-ip's servers. If port access is a problem, you can use an alternative port in the options for the application, port 80 I believe, which shouldn't be blocked ;) I have the same situation sat behind the NAT on my router/modem... however, eventually your PC does have a WAN IP, even if it is shared with other users.

I am supposed to have a dynamic IP, but it hasn't changed since I got this ADSL connection! Not complaining, merely an observation...

Both cases imply you don't need a Windows PC at all. :) I had no luck with no-ip, probably because I hadn't a static IP. Or maybe I put less effort than it was necessary. Hopefully when I change my apartment and my Internet provider I'll try and configure the no-ip service. (And yes, “own IP” does mean static IP address. Lost in translation. :)) If you don’t have your own Windows PC, that means you either use Linux/Mac or are a Palezoic relic with no knowledge of what computing is.

I agree there are plenty of alternatives out there, personally, I'm happy using the no-ip redirector service in conjunction with VNC, but not all of us have the same needs, or required knowledge to operate like that. If you don't have your own Windows PC, or it isn't able to connect to the internet 24/7, or you'd rather perhaps keep work and home PC activity completely separate, I can see the point of a service like this. I'm guessing that they aren't necessarily targeting their services at people like you or me, but I still thought others might find it interesting, if not directly useful.

And this is for free. You can connect to your home PC even if it has no own IP. Actually I use their services to access my laptop while being at work. So what's the buzz? Why should I pay for a pre-defined set of apps, and store my valuable docs on some distant server farm? LogMeIn.com offers remote connection services. And this is for free.
