Well you could setup your own VPN, but that's really only useful if the machine you are trying to get to has broadband, but you can set up a VPN modem to modem.

Another alternative is PCAnywhere is an option or other similiar software.

If they are both on the internet you should be able to set up pptp for a "private" network over the net.

what kinda connection do u have at home, cable or dsl?

If so, the PCAnywhere suggestion is a good one...I use one called Remote Administrator.

VNC: Virtual Network Computing (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) is perfect for what you are talking about. Especially if both machines have full-time connections to the Net (DSL or similar). Used to be PC Anywhere or Laplink were good for that purpose, but VNC is completely FREE! and very well-written, streamlined code. It even supports an in-browser client. Let me know if you need help with it.:D
