I have used PC Anywhere for such hookups with great results. One of my clients needed to access their office computer while on vacation several states away and did so every day with ease. While PC Anywhere does take over the console, it lets users on both ends work on the same program at the same time. Like collaborative working.

I'm using beinsync (http://www.beinsync.com) which takes a whole different approach to remote access. It has both a free version and a Pro version for $5 a month.

me and my friends have set up a home network between 4 computers for internet access using a switch. is there any way possible of sharing the hard drives on the computers through the switch? or would a router need to be involved?

A switch would work nicely. You'll need to enable file sharing on the various computers involved.

Hello


Is there a way to connect a portable hard drive directly to a router? so I could have the hard drive always available on the net?

Thank you.

Check out www.hamachi.cc Leo talks about this in other forums. This stuff is changing rapidly, but with hamachi there is now a totally free VPN solution that enables LANs to connect for games/file sharing etc and it is really easy to set up. At last...
