I am looking to connect to my home pc remotely, but not sure how.
My home pc is running WinXP and I have a Belkin Wireless Router with a NAT firewall.
At work we use TradiaVNC to connect to remote machines - Can I use this (or something similar) to connect remotely to my home pc?
Thanks.
You can use any kind of VNC, so long as you do some port forwarding on your home router, probably best to stick with what you use at work as they'll probably have the relevant ports already open, which means you only need to install the VNC server at home and tinker at one end.
if u dont have XP at work u can still download the remote desktop connection software for 2k etc ...just forward port 3389 in the config of your router and point it to the machine IP of the one u want to controll..if ur also using the XP firewall make sure its off or you have the same port open.also under the properties of "my computer" make sure remote desktop is enabled (under remote tab)what ever software u use u will need to forward ports and make sure the software is installed for u to connect on ur work pc. (already installed if u have Xp)
