I was wondering if there is any Software available so i can take control and see the dektop of another PC on my Home Network? I am running Windows ME.

Thanks

 
Thanks for that, Just got PC Anywhere today and it works great. Is it possible to use PC Anywhere through my Cable Modem? How would it set it up? Any guides for doing this? What about the Security concerns in doing this?

Thanks
 
are you using a NAT based router? if so you will need to redirect some ports to the machine that is running PCAnywhere.

edit note: fixed link

ports used by various versions of pcanywhere

if you want to connect to more than 1 machine through a NAT firewall - see this

setting up multiple hosts using different ports

Security in PCanywhere is configurable and can be based on accounts set up directly in the software, levels of encryption can be configured as well.

Good Luck
-Dave
