what is the best app out there for running applications on, and administering, a remote machine...? i know there's pcanywhere and timbuktu, but they have a huge footprint and take a lot of overhead. then there's back orifice 2000, which has a nice small footprint but lacks some functionality... what i want to be able to do is access a machine on my home network from either a laptop on a remote network, or from my work machine, and be able to access files, run desktop apps, run network apps, and perform simple to relatively complex system tasks on the machine on my home network. all network apps i execute on my home machine should show *that* machine's network info (i.p. address, etc) and not be routed back through the client machine i am using to access it from... know what i mean..? (for example, if i'm at work in, say, the 155.x.x.x domain, and my home network is 243.x.x.x and i use the 155 machine to run an irc client that is installed on the 243 machine, the network info for the irc connection should show it as originating from the 243 domain, and not 155). the home machine will be running either 2kpro or 2kadv-srv... thanks for any help or suggestions...

I use a great piece of software called Remotely Anywhere. It's kind of expensive, but worth it. You can do just about anything with this software. Check out the web site if you are interested.
 
VNC is a free solution that works well over fast networks. It's been mentioned and linked lots of times from here and the Software forum. However, if you're looking to bounce an IRC connection, look into finding winBNC...

Also try terminal services that comes with win2k advanced server. It does exactly what you want and doesn't take too much memory when run it admin mode. I currently use it for remote administration and it works quite well 🙂
 
Please be aware that remote administration programs like PCanywhere are security nightmares. They often have very nasty undocumented bugs (features) that will let any experienced cracker into your system.
 
If your using Windows Clients and servers then use Terminal Services. If you want more capability you can use Microsoft SMS server.
 
thanks for all the suggestions, i'm currently trying remotely anywhere... seems to work quite well, not too much lag, not too much memory... now if i could just figure out how to remove the icon from the system tray.. anyone know if there is a standard registry edit for removing system tray icons..?
