The answer depends on the operating systems running on the two computers.

If XP on both, then you can use desktop sharing. You need to do two things:

• Enable desktop sharing on the computer you want to connect to. Open system properties (in control panel). Select the Remote tab. Select "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer ". Then click on the "Select Remote Users" and enter the user details for the users who will be connecting. I strongly advise making sure your user accounts have passwords assigned.
• Then on the computer connecting to the other computer, go to Programs > Accessories > Communications > Remote Desktop Connection. Enter the address of the PC you want to connect to (IP address or computer name). You'll be prompted for a user name and password. Enter those and you are in.

If you are connecting to an XP PC from a Win 2000 PC, there is a Microsoft client you can down load from microsoft.com. Post back if you can't find it, and I'll dig out the URL.

If the computer you are connecting to is not XP (or 2003 server), then it will not have remote teminal service built in. If this is the case you'll need additional software to make the connection. Starting point is usually VNC. There are many flavours. Personally I use Tight VNC. Documentation on the site will tell you how to use this software, but it is fairly straight forward. Again, use passwords!

 

OR you might consider buying Symantec’s pcAnywhere.
I’ve used it for many years n it’s great. Has all kinds of security features you can use or not. It's also independent of operating sytem.

One thing though "“ if operating a computer remotely over the internet really really helps if both on broadband connection else the lag will drive you nuts.
