Remote Computing? ::::

[househead]

Was wondering if anyone has used the Remote desktop for WinXP or PCAnywhere by symantec???

Can it only be used in your LAN? (home network?)

is there any way to access computers when you AREN'T @ home? Let's say, like you're at a friend's house and you want to contact your pc @ home?

thanks!

Many people here use VNC to connect to their home computers. I prefer OpenSSH. If you read a little information on the box of PC Anywhere it should answer your questions.

Remote Desktop in XP works. Terminal Service in Windows 2000 AS works. WinVNC works.

What's VNC?

Do they only work within your HOME network?

how about in remote locations tryin' to access home pcs?

I know people that use VNC to connect to their home machine from their work machines. Again, RTFM.

Is that not almost the same question you just asked? RTFM.
