I don't have a static IP. In fact, if I try this remote server/client
DCOM structure in my office, then I am behind a firewall. but when I
try on my home PC (I need two PCs), then both of them are connecting
to the internet by using some internet service provider's service,
such as BellSouth dial-up internet service.

Thanks for the reply, tell me more please.
