If you still want to pursue the remote router admin idea I'd suggest reflashing the firmware with DD-WRT, providing she has a model that's compatible. It kicks the pants off the stock Linksys firmware in just about every area and I'd feel more confident about its security as well.

It's possible with this to create an exe file for the client that has your IP hard-coded. When they run the file it attempts to connect to the viewer on your machine. This one-to-one relationship takes away some of the risk of having a service on the client machine waiting for a connection. Also, because it's active from both ends it will work through a firewall without having to forward any ports. |
I will have to give this a try as it is looks like it is only active when needed .
Once I work out the instructions
