Access my computer when abroad?
I have seen ways before but havent looking into much detail about it. Is there any software that allows me to access my main computer when abroad. Say for example I travel to Spain for 2 weeks. But I want to bring my laptop with me and be able to use wireless in Spain, but yet connect to my main computer back home to access files ect. Is there any good way in doing this, also wanting to access music ect. I am sure your saying why dont I just copy them to laptop before leaving, but I currently use my laptop only for work and not for fun. But when away on holidays, I would like to be able to access my main computer. Hope to hear some good methods soon. Thanks!

Answer 1 :
A good way to do this is to get a server. A server is a host that holds information that a lot of times you can access from anywhere. Sign up for Yahoo! Geocities, they provide you with an amount of room that is more than suffice for holding documents and music.

Go to http://logmein.com Download logmein to give you remote desktop control, and hamachi for remote file transfers.
Answer 3 :
if you have XP Pro on your home machine, then you can create an Remote Desktop Connection between your laptop and home machine. To my knowledge XP Home cannot be connected to with XP Home or Pro, but XP Home can connect to XP Pro. Also, if you have Vista, things changed a little. This product is built into XP so you are able to use it when needed
