I'm not sure if I understand what you're actually trying to
achieve, since you never indicate what method you're
using for remote access.
A popular (and free!) product to access PCs remotely is
WinVNC.
If your external IP address varies from one session to the
other then you may need something like ipupdater or
No-IP duc to broadcast your address. Both are free.
Lastly, depending on your exact configuration, you may
need to configure your firewall and perhaps your router
to ensure that external access requests are routed to
the correct PC, and are not blocked by firewall rules.
If this is too general then I suggest you spell out your
requirements in detail.
