I have a computer on a remote network that gets its IP dynamically

if my main domain for our company were:

abc.com

then it would be nice to have:

remote.abc.com

that I could use to always reach that machine no matter what its IP is.

I'm sure this can be done, but can anyone explain in simple terms what
I need to do?

My approach would be to use a dynamic host service like dyndns.com.

I setup a remote1.homedns.org with a cname in my zone:

remote.abc.com 3600 in cname remote1.homedns.org

And use a dynamic dns client on the laptop. Then you don't even care what OS is on the laptop, just use the proper client for the OS on it.
