I have two offices on either side of the state, as well as a home PC and a laptop.  I have a VPN running between them.  How can I remotely control all these systems?

I use a program called realvnc. Type it in your search box. It has never failed me!

Well, first you turn down the lights....put on some soft music....bottle of wine and....\n\n\n\nNo....I won't quit my day job.\n\nOk ok......XP has built-in something called Remote Assistance, if this is indeed what you're asking about. If you right-click "My Computer" go to "Properties" then go to the "Remote" tab, you will see a check-box to activate it, and a link where you can read more about it.\n\nBoth computers need to have this turned on for it to work, and essentially, if I recall, the computer that 'calls' the other computer is the one that can 'see' the other computer's terminal. I don't believe it's a two-way thing. Now, if the other computer is used as the 'calling' computer then IT will see the others computers terminal.\n\nMake sense?\n\nEssentially you can sit at your computer and use teh mouse and open and close things and the other person at the other computer can sit and watch what's happening. Good for troubleshooting or fixing someone else's computer remotely.\n\nNot sure you need the IP address of both boxes or not, but if you do you can find that my going to Start/Run.\n\nType "run" in the little window.\n\nA window will pop up. You'll see a blinking 'prompt'. Type "ipconfig" and then hit 'enter'.\n\nYou'll see the line that says IP Address.\n\nHope this is what you were looking for.

real vnc is a great tool, and will do just what u need watching whats happerning on another computer, and you can control the computer as well http://www.realvnc.com/\n\nallthough it depends on you reasons for why you want to watch whats happerning, if it is to spy on what people are doing on the lan, it is unethical

Very carefully.\n\nBasically You have internet connection plug into router.\n\nSecond: plug computers into router. It's most liekly setup for DHCP so the computers will get local IP addresses automatically. After that you should be good to go.

I definitely suggest: Ultra VNC http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/  I use it all the time. At work and at school.\n\nI also have a dynamic IP. I use "no-ip.com" for my re-directing pursoses.\n\nIf you cannot open a port on your router at home you're pretty much out of luck. There has to be a way for you to "connect" to your computer at home. Ports are the only way to do this.\n\nUltra VNC allows you to connect through a program OR through a java applet on a website. Awesome stuff.

first you need to have your Home PC connected to the internet.\n\nconnect to the internet with your laptop using your GSM phone as a GPRS modem (if it supports GPRS and if your GSM provider supports GPRS)\n\nonce both computers are conencted to the internet, you need a host software or a remote access software or a service to access your home PC (remote desktop. remotelyanywere, etc, you can also use FTP server on both or on one of the 2 Pcs to transfer files)

A free and excellent solution is logmein.com. It's an encrypted, secure connection that allows you to take over your pc remotely. An upgraded plus version requires $$, but will allow even more flexiblity. The free version does not allow shared folders or data transfers, but you can get around this by using email, yahoo briefcase, etc. This solution works behind firewalls and routers.

Remote desktop connections are you crazy that is to take control of a pc on the network its like teminal server.  If you looking for a chat program for the network try skype its free and its everything your looking for.  The computers will have to have internet connection to use it just like them all.  If you have an exchange server 2k or higher you can install msn messenger and run it off the exchange but if you have your email hosted outside the company that is shot for you.

What type of computer?\n\nRemote to do what?\n\nThere are remotes for certain things like T.V/video cards and a few other things but depending on what you want it for ther may not be a remote.

The remote control on your laptop is just like the remote control on your TV.  It was NOT designed for transferring data; that is why it is "oblivious" to your attempts.\n\nYou need a "data transfer" type of IR connection.  You MAY be able to buy an accessory that will plug in to allow what you want to do.  Check with HP and/or your cellphone provider.

Yes, several, depending on how involved you want to get.\n\nFirst, the easiest way is using the security built into the router.  Look at your router documentation.  If you don't have a router, get one - it's more secure that having the DSL tied directly to one PC (since you said "employee", I'm assuming you are a business, already with a connection using a router).\n\nSecond, you can "play with" the internet setting on the employee's PC.  The problem with this approach is that they might change them back, unless you remove their "Administrator" access from the machine - all my employee's XP machines run without Administrator access.\n\nThird, if this is a large business, get a proxy server (I like Symantec's Web Security personally, but there are a bunch out there).\n\nFinally, if you want to "out tech" the employee, change their routing table (I do this too, and disable the person's ability to change it back).  A machine can only access things on the internet if the machine can "route" to them.  The problem is that 99% of the systems out there "route everything" by default out the router to the internet.  If you change the default route of the emplyee's machine to a bogus address (one that does not exist), then the ONLY things they can access are on the local network, and any explicit routes you add.  I do this too - I only add routes to the email server and a handful of other services, and route everything else through the proxy server.  This is great because it blocks instant messaging, internet radio, and all the other stuff you don't want you employee doing on the clock.

Microsoft has an application called Remote Desktop Connection that can control other people's computers remotely. Go to Microsoft website and search for that name and download. The app is free.

No.  I assume you are running Windows XP, but set up a network with your two PCs.   \n\n1. Start at "Start"\n2. Go to "My Network Places"\n3. Choose "Set up a home or small office network"\n4. Use the wizard and select a name for the network (default MSHOME is fine but rather boring)\n5. Run the wizard on the second PC and use the same name for the network on both PC\n6. Reboot both PCs\n\n\nNow, is the printer a local printer to the primary PC?  If so, go to the control panel and view the printers.  Make sure the printer is shared.  Then install the printer on the second PC (easiest is to use the driver that came with the printer, but it may be a printer that comes native in Windows or you can download a driver.  But on the 2nd PC set it up as a network printer.\n\nGood luck!

XP Home doesn't have the Remote Desktop server capability.  XP Home can be a client (controlling an XP Pro machine), but it can't be a server (being controlled by another machine).  For that, you can use a program like VNC, free from http://www.realvnc.com . \n\nThese tips should help you get the computers to see each other: \n\n\n1. If the computers run the original or SP1 versions of Windows XP, disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem connection to the Internet.  If they run SP2, enable the exception for file and printer sharing in the Windows Firewall.  Disable and un-install all \nother firewall programs while troubleshooting.  When un-installing a firewall program, use the un-install procedure provided by the \nmanufacturer .  Don't use Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, which might not completely un-install it. \n\n\nFor more information, see: \n\n\nWindows XP Internet Connection Firewall \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.htm \n\n\n2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing.  If the network needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all but one of them.  Details here: \n\n\nWindows XP Network Protocols \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_protocols.htm \n\n\n3.  Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers. Details here: \n\n\nEnable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT) \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm \n\n\n4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of the output.  If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem.  It means that the computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a peer-to-peer network, for NetBIOS name resolution. \n\n\nIf that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key: \n\n\n   HLM&#92;System&#92;CurrentControlSet&#92;Services&#92;Netbt&#92;Parameters \n\n\nand delete these values if they're present: \n\n\n   NodeType \n   DhcpNodeType \n\n\nReboot, then try network access again. \n\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for "Mixed". \n\n\nFor details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles: \n\n\nDefault Node Type for Microsoft Clients \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;160177 \n\n\nTCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314053

First you must establish a local connection with them either by hooking to the same hub or using a program like hamachi this will let you set up a local network over the Internet that you can share files or play games on run web servers what ever

You'll probably need to set up a vpn connection. It's fairly easy, but you will need to find out from one of your network people at work what the i.p. address to use is. This site explains it: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/vpn/ht/newvpnwindowsxp.htm\nJust create the vpn, double click on it to connect and you should be able to access everything the same way you do at work.
