Don't Pay for Remote PC access!

Want to connect to your PC from any computer? You can buy programs that will do it, but why when you can do it for free?

TightVNC is a program that runs on your computer allowing you to remotely access your desktop. Although there are several similar VNC programs out there, this one worked best for me (on Windows XP Home). If you have Mac or Linux, you may have to try others, but never pay for VNC technology... you can always find it for free.

Here's how it works:
VNC is short for Virtual Network Computing. In every network there is usually a client and a server. The most important part of VNC is the server program which gets installed on your home/work computer (the one you want to control). It creates the remote screen that you will see. The client program gets installed on the "remote control" computer. It is what "sees" the server. If you don't have access to install the client, you can always use your web browser (Internet Explorer, etc.) to access the server. The catch is, you have to know what your IP address is on the computer you want to control. If you have a home/wireless network with a router, there are some updates that need to be made to router for it to work. If you want to know more, contact us and we can offer you tech support or visit the TightVNC web page for more info.

For you Treo users, there is also PalmVNC. Check it out... it's awesome!
