My friend and I would like to share information with one another. We don't live in the same house, but are pretty close and use the same internet provider. We have dynamic IPs, but they rarely if ever change. Is there a way we can do this? I know it probably requires three things, sharing setup properly, some sort of ftp or similar program, and the settings on routers changed for port forwarding or something, but beyond that I haven't a clue how/where to begin.
Thanks
What is the easiest/cheapest way to network between two computers on the internet?
my best guess is VPN but your router may not support this feature. In order to do this you would need to reconfigure your router to connect to your friends. Your only problem is the dynamic address. VPN profiles usage force you to use static addresses. If your wanting to move files remote desktop might be something to look into or PPTP. Good Luck!

I'm going to say %26quot;Mobile Me%26quot;. It allows you to share 10 gig on a virtual hard drive....the program is already on most new PCs and it costs $99 a year. That's about $8 a month...pretty cheap...and easy.
