OK I guess I need to give you guys a bit more information. I have a gig at a computer lab that allows me to spend a bunch of time on the internet. All the computer are either Mac OS 9 or Windows 98/XP Pro. I would like to access my computer remotely without any or as little software on the computer lab end. Everytime the computers are rebooted any changes to the hard drive are removed so a long install would be a pain everyday. In the same way I would like a family member to be able to log in remotely from her job where she is on a XP Pro machine. How insecure is VNC? Would I be better advised to have an up to date Windows XP Pro (I got a legit copy for free from the msft club at ASU...) install behind a firwall with remote desktop forwarded to it? PS my home connection is now dsl (256/256) if that matters) --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
