hi.

I was thinking. Perhaps some clever people on ocuk can educate me on this


I have a desktop pc and a laptop at home. Both networked so i can see and use photos, music, files etc on either machine when at home.


Anyway for me to do this:---

if i was to say leave my desktop pc on at home.

go out to, for example a friends house 200 miles away with my laptop and connect to his/her internet connection.

Then somehow from my laptop be able to see, view, copy etc files on my home pc.



I am sure there is technicall wording for all this. So I am interested in if and how this is able to be perfomed.


I am using Win 7 on both machines.


thanks
