Control Your PC from Anywhere for Free



          

Thanks to a few exceptional programs, you can now eliminate any distance barriers between you and your PC. A host of remote access tools are available that do the job in a simple and secure way. The video mentions a few paid services which accomplish this, that doesn’t matter because you can get free ones! The video above talks us through the setup of Remote Desktop Connection. This connection allows you to connect to another computer and use it. A DIY Remote setup requires some simple port forwarding which is part of Windows XP and Vista too.

  • VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is one free tool that is a must for those serious about remote sharing. VNC itself serves up many variants with their own subset of features.
  • UltraVNC for Windows gets the vote for its ease of use via a remote viewer or any browser (for non-Windows machines) that has Java installed.

The grasp of this tech could be a lifesaver especially if you are the forgetful type who has left important files back on the home PC. Check out our complete range of Internet and Windows how-to’s and subscribe to HacknMod for daily updates for free.

ou can access you computer anytime with Wake On Lan.
You can use programs to wake up computers on your local network or use an online wake up tool if you aren’t connected to your local network.
To use an online wakeup tool, you have to forward UDP port 7 or 9 on your router. If you are waking up a computer on your local network, you do not have to forward any ports.

Once your computer is on, you can use vnc software to control it.

Wake-on-LAN makes it possible to actually control your computer from anywhere without leaving it on all the time.

The problem with using this type of program as a lifesaver as you mention, is that it depends on you having left your PC not only on, but active and running the software. I use these programs, specifically the http://www.proxynetworks.com offering, and I am happy with it. That said, it works best for me as a Tech Support tool, rather than an emergency solver.
