Remote Desktop

[looqas]

The thing I use to control my wife's grandma's 2 computers is Teamviewer.

It's free for 20h of use per month if I remember correctly. Anyway. Worth checking out. No IP hassle needed since it uses the Teamviewer's server to route the traffic. It's not the fastest solution but reliable. And you can have the server to load up the server side of Teamviewer at Windows startup.

But if you are planning to play FL over the remote connection you won't be able to. You bandwidth at home (unless you have well over 1Mb upload) will be the problem.

The same goes to all remote desktop programs. It needs to send back and forth a "video" feed of your desktop size of your resolution. You'll be able to use skype and other IM programs, but expect stutter.

Another remote desktop program is vnc
