Need a little advice, here. Actually a lot of advice, am in way over my head. I want to access remote computers, not on a network. Not for money nor for hackery (is that a word?) but to help friends and realtives.

Have searched the forum. There is already some good info here but it is maybe dated.

Have read about

TeamViewer: http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
TightVNC: http://www.tightvnc.com/
UltraVNC: http://www.uvnc.com/

Anyone have actual experience with any of the freeware apps? I try out whatever you guys recommend first, so as to save time.

Thanks a million.

On certain editions of windows can act as a server like XP Pro and Media Center. UltraVNC is a great program that sits quietly on my tray. Difficult to configure, but once you get it going its completely transparent.

Thanks very much. Lots of info to digest.
Will post back anything useful.
Remote Desktop is installed, will sure try it. Also UltraVNC.
