RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol ) that is described
above is the most ideal and best solution, but it is only available in
XP Pro...not sure what vista ver, probably not home edition. If it
isn't available on your PC your only realistic alternative other than
using something like GOTOMYPC is VNC.
You'll have to install VNC (sourced below) and open up port 5900 to the
internet on your router to your computer's IP. In these circumstances
it not a bad idea to make your computer IP Static, so it doesn't change
on you. Also look in your router for something called DDNS. you can
sign up with websites like DYNDNS.ORG and you can reference your house
by NAME instead of IP In the future. and it updates with you IP changes.
To access from work you will have to use a VNC client or the JAVA web
client on port 5800. ..so basicly you would install VNC and both
locations or find a "vnc viewer" tight vnc has a standalone viewer if
needed. just google it
If all this is too confusing, seriously just use gotomypc...it costs a
little bit, but its super easy
