What operating system are you using? Windows XP professional comes with Remote Desktop. So just enter a IP address and your away!
I have used Hamachi before in the past and that is okay to use. It does mean installing a small piece of software but its pretty simple to use.
Now Ive heard of this but not tried it. Apparently it has good reviews so might be worth a try? https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp

I would rather use DynDNS simply because the service will update itself regardless of the changes your ISP (Internet Service Prodiver) may have made to IP address. I am running Windows XP Professional but I do not use any of Microsoft's software components. Thanks for the information but I just want to know how to access my machine from a machine without any remote desktop services running. Thanks agian.

Ok. I suggested remote desktop because its something I used before in the past. Mind you I did connect using IP addresses. But Im reading this and it may be possible to achieve what u want to do.

look for Call Schemes from a remote location
it says
If the ISP assigns a dynamic IP then another solution is to setup an account with one of the dynamic naming services that map a fully qualified domain name to the IP. In my case I use a FREE service from No-IP.com. The No-IP.com software runs on my XP Pro box and on a time schedule basis contacts the No-IP.com servers. The No-IP.com servers then know what your IP is and maps that to a fully qualified domain name. That information is then propagated over the public internet. You then call the Remote Desktop host PC using the fully qualified domain name.
