If you are using a PC, you can use a free program called VNC.  You can find it here: http://www.realvnc.com/\n\nYou start a server on your computer, and then use the same program on another computer to login.

run the network setup wizard, and when it asks at the end, make the setup disk, then run the setup on the other computer and the stteing will match

laptop and desktop?..\n\ngoto network connection properties of both computers, enter IP address and subnet mask on both computers to the same subnet and use a 'cross over' cable to connect both. And yes, better if they are in the same workgroup!

Well! First make sure you hav lan cards on both the computers, then connect them using a lan cable on the backside of the computer on the ethernet port.\nNext,\nIf you are Using Windows:\nOpen Control Panel > Network Connections\nRight click on the icon showing 'Local Area Connection' and click on Properties\nSelect TCP/IP on the list of items and click on Properties\nSelect 'Use the following IP Address'\nEnter as follows:\n      IP address: 169.169.169.168\n      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0\n      Default Gateway: 169.169.169.168\n      Preffered DNS Server: 222.222.222.222\n      Alternate DNS Server: (Leave blank)\nDo this on the other machine: \n      \n      IP Address: 169.169.169.167\n      Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0\n      Default Gateway: 169.169.169.167\n      Preferred DNS Server: 222.222.222.222\n      Alternate DNS Server: (Leave blank)\nClick Ok\nClick on 'Set up a home or small Office Network' in 'Network Tasks' (left side)\nA wizard will open\nClick next\nClick next\nSelect the third option\nSelect the third option\nClick next \nclick next\nClick on 'Turn on File and Printer Sharing'\nClick next and then click finish\n\nRun the wizard on the other computer too\nNext, right click on the drives which you want to share(both the machines) go to the sharing tab, check 'Share this folder on the Network' and check 'Allow network users to change my files'\nThe drives will be displayed in 'My Network Places'\nIt should be in your Start menu!\nThat's It\nEnable LAN(Right click on icon and click enable) on both the PCs and enjoy! \nAnd plz rate this ans as the best if you want!

you can't. you need to access the open ports and the open ports only, otherwise you need physical access to the computer.

you need to run the applications on the PC you consider as server, give it IP address then tell your DNS that this name map to this IP.\n\nopen ports for "others" that the applications will recieve requests through.\n\ntry to connect from one computer to the server.\n\nHave Fun!

No, you should be able to use the same login wherever you go.  Just change the username/password on one of the computers.

Well its like this before you start check if you are able to ping the remote computer from home and vice versa then check you have a user account enabled with password on both computers.Now follow the following steps in each computer.\n\n1.Right click on MY COMPUTER and click on properties to open  system properties.\nclick on the tab that says REMOTE in the system properties , now check the boxes Remote ASSISTANCE and Remote DESKTOP.\nclick on apply and ok.\n\n2.Now to connect click on start -  all programs -accessories - communication - under communication menu go to Remote desktop Connection.You will see a pop up window in the window enter the ip address of the computer you want to connect to and enter the other settings as required like username , password , domain etc some of which are optional.\n\nnow click on connect you should see your remote desktop.\n\n\nRegards,\nAmrith\nFormer Senior Escalation Engineer\n(Linksys , Microsoft)

I'm going to guess that you have OS X.\n\nYou will want to use a Remote Desktop service.

you got to use remote access to the the main computer, to connect to a pc remotely, you have to install client and server software for remote access.\nHere's one thats free\nhttp://www.tightvnc.com/\nas long as you got a high speed internet network connection/lan, the ip address of the main computer, file transfer, printing etc is not a problem. Piece of cake!

From easiest to hardest\n\n1.- USB thumb drive (you said ur old computer probably doesnt have one)\n2.- burn a cd\n3.- get both computers on the same network, and share the directory where the files are\n4.- use an ethernet cable (twisted pair)

Reboot both computers.\n\nTry a different network name and reboot again.

if both the computers are having ethernet ports then you can connect them using an ethernet cross cable...or you can also connect them by connecting their serial ports...

A free and excellent solution is logmein.com. It's an encrypted, secure connection that allows you to take over your pc remotely. An upgraded plus version requires $$, but will allow even more flexiblity. The free version does not allow shared folders or data transfers, but you can get around this by using email, yahoo briefcase, etc. This solution works behind firewalls and routers.

As I explained in the last thread, you can't do it using windows remote desktop - the HOST computer (the one being connected to) has to be either XP pro or media.  You could do it the other way around by installing the remote desktop client software on the XP home computer, but that will only allow you to use that computer to remotely access other computers, not what you want to do.\n\nTo connect to the XP home computer, you'll need to use something like pcAnywhere, GoToMyPC or similar products.

Go to control panel and then User accounts.\n\nThere should be an option for it.
