| | Remote access solution I need to be able to access the files on my PC when I'm away from the Office using my laptop. Is there a very simple remote access solution I can use? The PC of course is going to be unattended so nothing that requires manual authentication such as crossloop will be any use. |

What you choose depends on the operating systems involved, whether the office is on a domain, and your needs. Since you didn't give any of those details, that's as specific as I can get. You should start by talking to your office's IT Dept. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

| | Re: Remote access solution Hi If office means a business environment, you have to start (as mentioned by Malke) with the local IT people. If office means Home Office, or small office under your control, maybe this can Help. http://www.ezlan.net/vnc.html http://www.ezlan.net/myip.html Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Malke" <malke@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OOF%233g1lJHA.1340@xxxxxx Quote: > Paul wrote: > Quote: >> I need to be able to access the files on my PC when I'm away from the >> Office using my laptop.

| | Re: Remote access solution Hi Team viewer is actually a fancy UltraVNC that the Single Click aspect was already done. As usual there are few aspect that make more comfortable than the regular UltraVNC and some aspects that I prefer to stay with VNC. With the passage and the type of work that I do from remote I learned when to use Windows RDT and when to use UVNC in I am happy with both.
