Accessing PC across LAN

Hi,

I have set up PC Anywhere on the host & remote PCs.

When I connect, I can login, see the host screen but as soon as I try to move around, call up menus etc, the screen becomes seriously corrupted (distored) and it becomes impossible to do anything or see anything on my screen.

When I look at the host PC, I can't see why it has gone this way.

I expected screen drawing to be slow on a dial-up connection (which will also be used), but not across a LAN.

Does the speed of the host PC make much difference with remote access across a dial-up connection? I think it doesn't, because it can only go as fast as data travels across the phone line and this would be the slowest component - am I right? This is important, as I'm using a slow PC as host - need to know if I need to move software to a much faster PC instead.

Regards,
Jay/UK
