Give Ol' Apple a call and find out for everyone
let us know the verdict

 

Well you got me real curious on this one so i called apple and they said yes you can do what you are wanting to do with remote desktop
there are some things that need to be covered
you need to have a dynamic ip address not a static one like DSL meaning you have to have an ip that remains constant
the computer must not be behind firewall or router But if it is
i asked him about a Airport extreme Base station like i have he said you would have to open up certain ports to allow this they will walk you through it on phone
your computer wont be open to other people he said since you would be required to enter a password
and he said you coud open up webpages on the other computer and view them on yours because you would be Controlling that desktop remotely
he said it was as if you were using that computer from yours

 

You got that the wrong way around and thats not true anyway. You SHOULD have a static ones those are the ones that don't change. However its not a problem if you have a dynamic IP as you can set up a free domain name something like mydomain.no-ip.com and then run a small program on your computer that will update no-ips servers when your IP changes then you just punch in mydomain.no-ip.com and it will connect every time. Also firewalls are not a problem as all firewalls can have ports opened. You don't need to use apples remote desktop to do this either.

You may also be able to get around it using a proxy but that is easy to see that your doing that.
