i would like to be able to remotely access my macbook from anywhere across the internet. but i am looking for something more automatic, than the way i have set it up for my desktop using port forwarding, since i never know where the macbook will be and therefore a given network will already have its router configured and forwarded for my laptop.

i want to have access to file, isight, and screen sharing. i can only assume i need third party software but havent found any.

any help here please?
 
do you use this?

i checked website but i cant tell if it needs to be "started" by someone everytime i want to connect or if i can jus find it automatically over internet whereever it is, or if it needs to be coupled with something like dynamic dns

Yes, I use this daily. You simply let it launch on bootup, so it sits in the background, ready when you need it. I've supported hundreds of clients on both Mac OS X and Windows with TeamViewer for years.
 
Hi,

Can you please let me know how were you able to access your mac remotely anywhere. I am able to do port forwarding and everything.. but when i try to connect from a secured netwrok connection it errors out.. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kris
