Here is what im dealing with. I have a computer at my home that is running winXP home it is connected to a Linksys DSL/Cable Router with VPN... I want to be able to at least use the files that are on the main computer from my laptop. One thing I dont like is how you can see what your doing on home computer with some of the software I tried but I have this VPN router I might as well learn how to use it. None of my systems run winXP Pro just home can I setup Remote Access to my computer eventhough it is XP Home? What is a good place to get a step by step for that? Is there a program that doesn't show what im doing on the server computer when I access it from laptop. I mostly work with files like Outlook, Quicken, Excel, Word.
