Logging in from the Internet into my computer at work?
Hi all,
With XP Home on my computer at work, how difficult is it to log into it from home, it is behind a WRT54G and runs Zone Alarm Suite? How do I even "find" my computer from home? thanks, charles..... |

The receiving PC can use Remote Assistance.
Click on StartHelp and Support to set this up. Both PCs must be on. -- XP - WNP Today is the first day of the rest of your life. If you find this response helpful, rate it below.

Unless your work computer is on a direct dialup or dsl connection at work, it's very likely you cannot do so; any IT department worth their money will have it locked down to entering the network there. Best thing to do is check with them; they'll be able to give you all the details you need if it's an allowable thing to do. Just remember; if you can get in, so can anyone else if they try hard enough. HTH Pop` |

I would like to be able to sit at home and it be like I was sitting at my computer at work. thanks.... |

You can sit at home and run all the progs on the other machine and vice versa without worrying about share settings etc.. File transfers, copy/paste between machines, the whole thing. Very useful and a lot simpler than networking. You'll need to get the IPs for the machines and routers. ping and whatismyisp.com will help there. Less secure than doing it the right way via the routers though; keep antivirus and spyware up to date and firewalls running. Only allow your own IPA's in. Pop` |
