hi can anyone help me on how to remotely control pc? i have to share my harddisk here at my office tobe able to extend my work at home. thanks.. im using win2k on both PCs'. thank you

I recomend VNC (www.realvnc.com i think) its very handy for what you said. That is if both pc's are running , cuz im not sure wat ur post ment , do u mean that u have to share the hdd for both os's if so ignore that

If you just want to access data, you can use admin shares (do you have VPN connection?). Like \\computer\c$ etc...

[oioldman]

Or use remote administrator from www.radmin.com

only need 1 port opening and away you go

Simple adn easy to use

License need to be purchased, but are relatively cheap

radmin is good but , vnc is free

I still use VNC when I need to, but I've been using LogMeIn lately...it's a smaller version of Remotely Anywhere, which is clunky at first but it's really slick.

LogMeIn is free for just remote desktop (File Transfer Isn't Free), and it's great cause it doesn't need firewall support (Other than software firewalls approving the application in general).

It is a service that they provide, so you have to go through them at all times, but it's really not a drag if both units are on broadband. It will run on Win2000 no problem...check it out, it's pretty swank!

Might try www.logmein.com

Is it secure or do you have to add security to it like VNC?

[InTheWayBoy]

They sing that they are very secure...in truth I don't care, so I don't know

hi guys thanks for all the suggestions, but im a newbie, so u know things that i could understand easily? thanks..

[InTheWayBoy]

try logmein.com then...it's really simple, too simple for some things, but to start out on you might like it.

you could try netop (although not sure if this works over adsl or dailup modem)

or PC anywhere

just looked, netop does do dial in aswell as dial out

[tarquel]

Certainly does, one server we have is using netop - a seperate company who's set up the server for a specific role & uses netop to remote administer it.

Its not maintained by me (unless they want me to press Ctrl - Alt - Del for them lol apparently a bug in netop, although it didnt used to happen lol) as such so cant give you more details than that really.

But as taggs said, it does do dialin
