Ok I dunno if this is possible or not but I guess it probably is. :ermm:
Can I take control of a friend's pc through my own pc allowing me do some routine maintenance etc on his/her pc via the internet? I have seen PC anywhere in action but I think you need to be on a lan or a wan for that to work. :unsure:
If this is possible what would I need to do it? :huh:
Thanks for any help you can offer. :)

vnc-4.0-x86_win32.exe

Yeah just use, Start > programs > Remote access if you have Windows XP or if you plan on doing this on a frequent basis, you may want top think about NetOp
i've used realvnc, its nice
but i think you can do the same with pcanywhere :unsure:
its just a little bulkier than vnc
Ok cool, thanks a lot folks. :01:
My mates, who know even less than me :rolleyes: , often ask me to do some bits and bobs on their pcs. This will save me having to visit them too :P
Ever thought of using a trojan horse? :shifty:
I did but if they nicked my bird I would be happy :greekmytholgysmiley:Quote:

use ultr@vnc better then normal real vnc as it has file transfer built in and messaging to and from the server and user
