Hi
The public IP has to be known to you and it does not matter if it is static or not, as long as you know what the current IP. Means to deal with dynamic WAN IP here, http://www.ezlan.net/myip.html If the computer is behind a Router and thus the computer has a local IP. The Remote Desktop Port as be opened through the Router toward the Computer's IP. This operation has to be done locally by the remote user. I.e. you have to instruct the user how to open a port through his Router. If you are not familiar with Port Forwarding, this site has a list of most common consumers Routers with instruction to how-to.
