Accessing network remotely......

[thepharcyde]

I have heard of 'gotomypc.com' etc. Are these any good/any free software available which does the same.

I am on hols from tomorrow, but want to be able to access my home pc via my laptop that I am taking away for primarily accessing music/movies etc.

How can I do it?

Thank you

http://www.realvnc.com/ is good, but the free version does not have encryption.

It's no good for streaming movies though

Hi just playing with VNC and you are right re streaming......but can you not copy files and paste onto local machine?

Team Viewer - http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
LogMeIn.com - http://www.logmein.com

The pro version definitely has sound (LogMeIn). Im not too sure about TeamViewer.

i use logmein.com, but the free version does not have sound and you cannot copy files to the machine, for that i use hamachi (logmein.com) which is a VPN and is also free
