Ben,
I'm also assuming you can connect via VPN to your router.

I have a client who wants to log into FMP from home. The host (server)
is also a client machine for the owner of the company. He hosts FMP
and does his day to day stuff on this machine. Would the solution to
my problem simply be just have the remote user log into the router
(dynamic IP address, it would change everytime it restarts, or at
least is my understanding) to get to the host machine, and login to
FMP in that manner. Or are there issues since there is no static IP
address? Would I be able to use DHCP in some manner?

Yes, I've already recommended that boss purchase a server and stop
using the server as a client machine. Tough times we live in.

Also, I am not trying to put my FMP DB's on the web, but let me know
if this is the only possible method to achieving success.

Thanks,

Ben
