PC Control

[Niki]

PC control can be done with MSN's remote assistance. But both MSN parties must be connected 1st (Manually - by request). Another method is via Symantic pcAnywhere.. but this software disabled some of WIndow XP's fucntions such as graphical login screen etc... Any other options to hv PC control (I access my home pc from any where)?

What I'm trying to say is:
PC control from far distance without the need of help from another party.
e.g. access my home PC from overseas, browse my desktop, edit settings. My Home PC is always online, and lets say Im now in Aus, and would like to access my PC from a public computer in Aus.

Any alternatives? Sorry, i don't mean that the suggested solution is not good. I just want to know are there other alternatives we can share here.. In a way to increase knowledge. I always like multiple choices.

and to save you needing to remember your external ip address (if you want to connect from the internet) maybe use something like www.dyndns.org
