can someone tell me if i can setup a connection from my computer to one at work over the internet so i can do work from home out the files there? I feel sure there is a way, but i'm not much of an expert on networking. I'm fairly computer literate in other areas so if it is explained i can probably set it up.
 
I think what you want to do is research VPN (Virtual Private Networking) a good bit, it may answer some of your questions.
 
Yes and No.

Yes, you can access another PC using VNC ( just to name one www.realvnc.com ). You could also use VPN but this requires access to be set up by your employer. The problem with VNC is that you will have to have the destination PC on a REACHABLE IP address. If your PC at work sits on an internal network then chances are that you can forget that idea. Good luck.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
