The Reason which stop you from connecting to remote computer using dynamic ip is that your isp provide you two ip one which is inside the Lan and other outside the lan this is that ip which change every time you On your computer or restart connection( so because of that conflict you can do remote connection with computer). so one way of doing remote connection would be by joining same lan(then we don't need to go outside the lan) and then connecting to the computer. therefore for this we use hamachi(software) which you can download from here.

2. once hamachi is installed look at system tray you will found here a three green dots in traingular form (appeared) click on it.
3. then you will get a window as shown.

the ip shown on the above part of this window is your ip address and similarly your friend will get different one. after you both join the group you both will be listed into your network. hence now you can use these ip address for remote connection.
NOTE:- you can use my network
network: tarunkumarsinghal
password:tarun

4) If it does not ask for that or u haven't fill it during installation u can do it after installation as well for that u have to go start-->all program-->virtual pc.

5) On clicking it you will get a screen like shown here.

6) Now click onto setting button shown on that window then you will got another windows as shown below:-


7) Among all setting minimum (ram, harddisk is most). To fill it click a on left side of the image like on clicking memory for setting ram on harddisk 1 for setting harddisk.

8) you can enable or disable any other things that u want virtual box should give to operating system( that u want to install ) for examle in sound setting unchecking enable sound will disallow from using the sound card by the operating system inside the virtual pc.
9) On completing these setting press ok and now insert cd into the cd drive and press ok on the first winow of virtual pc.

5) don't change video memory value and if u want to modify it don't exceed it from you video ram's(not even equal to it) value because your operating system out side the virtual box also need some amount of video ram to display things.

6) And leave rest of the things as it is.(you can enable or disable things like cd rom or writer for that go to cd/dvd rom option.
