Remote Access to a PC

[ste_mulv]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to get remote access to a PC...

I want to take control of my home server from a remote location, and I also want to use it to show in-experiences users how to do things from a remote location.

Any suggestions???

Regards,

Steve

Cheers for the answers guys!

do you mean setting it all up or just how to connect once setup?

-Neither I just want to be able to take over their screen as if I was there.
I have been roped into teaching a couple of young lads how to use computers (starting with how to copy and paste!), and I live miles away, I think this is the best way to do it.

Not sure which is best: win remote desktop... a couple of questions or TeamViewer...

does win xp home have the remote desktop function? can it be added on if not? can you set it to auto accept a request? does anyone know a good tutorial I can use to get it up and running?

I do not want to pay for VPN hardware, and it is a bit excessive for me, i will just use the restricted MAC addresses.

cheers

Ste

Seems like the survey says: Teamviewer!

Thanks for the help guys, I will not doubt have to come back for some security questions, but thanks for the great help!
