Remote Computer Access over the Internet
If you are away from your desk and you need access your computer over the Internet, you can use any of the following Remote Access Programs to accomplish this task. In essence, such a program will allow you work on your own computer, directly, through the Internet, from any other computer.
What you get is this: when you log on to your computer, you see your computers monitor, and the mouse and keyboard on the computer you’re using operates your computer directly.
There are a number of such programs available. I’ve been using logmein.com’s free service for more than a year now. It works great. Alternative (but not free) services include GoToMyPC and Webex.
Remember, you have to sit at your own computer and install the remote access software on your computer before you’ll be able to use one of these programs to access your computer from anywhere else.
