-stop ignoring what we're suggesting! hamachi is dead easy to use, it's got the same learning curve that msn messenger has
Okay! I'll put phobia of all things networky aside and have a look at it
VNC access not by me - Should I be concerned?

Okay! I'll put phobia of all things networky aside and have a look at it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamachi
looks like that
basically you click the kind of triangle icon, 'create network' choose a network name & a password, then on the other machine, do 'join network' type in the username & password..
job done! -don't tick 'disable services' during setup.. it's just things like file sharing etc
in 99% of cases, no need to forward any ports
And then how does VNC get to the other machine? ie: What 'address' is the other machine?
ps: Sorry for my utter noob'ness on this!
address is either the ip of the machine in hamachi (always 5.xx) or the pcname
pcname didn't work...
Also going thru Hamachi seems a fair bit slower than via going to VNC directly over the internet
Still usuable, but clunky in comparison! Enough to put me off using it though when a direct link is so smooth...
