Control my PC from elsewhere

[kiepie]

Hi all

I know this is possible but dont know how.

Want to log into my pc and get data and change things on my pc thats at home.
Want to do this from another pc. Both is connected to the internet 24/7.

I got a small firewall (comodo) installed on my HOME PC.

How do I manage to do all this, and if I can do it, what prevents anyone other to access my pc??

thanks

I use www.logmein.com and it works great. I am the office at the moment on adsl and I can check my downloads on my home pc and also copy files to and from my office pc and home pc.

I am using Iburst wireless internet for my home pc.

Thats what I want to use it for. Someone else is at home (16years), will they be able to set this up? (not going to be at home for another 2 weeks)

Thanks for the replies

This is working great - one problem .

I'm accessing my pc at home (512kb/s) from a 4 mb/s connection.

Its a bit slow, feel like I have 32mb RAM.
Any idea what it is?

Edit - And if my international bandwith is finish on my pc at home??
