Remote Use

Well my dads comp is almost done, just needs a few more small connections and im set, tomrrow I will get it configured and updated with drivers etc. Now I was wondering, I am on a home network with a Linksys router, I want a program where I can see and controll his desktop from my computer(and not to see what he is doing and mess with him ). I want it so I can be on my computer and I can run spyware, virus, defrag and update things from here instead of need to go over to his computer and update etc, also if he runs into a problem I can fix it from here.Just would make things easyer as my dad is the kind that thinks he knows everything about computers but he really knows nothing... Thanks alot

With Windows XP you can use Remote Desktop-

Ahh I see yeah I could really use it seems like everyday hes got a prob with it. (No its not my fault)

yeah remote desktop will work. I wish I could connect to my sister's comp at school to help her, but when you are behind a router/splitter remote desktop won't work, correct?

VNC is also a good choice.

I use http://www.realvnc.com/
and http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

Thanks I wll give this VNC a look because I am on a router< most of the prob his comp is always loosing connection.
