ABSTRACT:
A computerized method is provided for connecting a remote computer to a local area network (LAN) via the Internet. An identification is sent to a gateway of a local area network using a publicly accessible communications network, either by a user or by a modem of the remote computer. The gateway uses the sent identification to index a database and read a profile record specifying an Internet Service Provider. The gateway makes a request of the specified Internet Service Provider to assign an IP address. Upon receiving the assigned IP address, the gateway sends a mail message including the Internet address to a mailbox at a mailbox address specified in the indexed profile record. The user of the remote computer reads the mail message to obtain the IP address, and the dynamically assigned IP address can then be used to connect the remote computer to a local area network (LAN) via the Internet.
