[Echovnc-users] Some Basic Questions

[Henderson, Allen]

Hi,   Problem description: At work we are behind a firewall and at home I’ve Verizon home DSL via a Westell wireless router bridge connected to 2 wireless PCs and 1 LAN “hard-wired” PC. I’d like to periodically connect to one of my “wireless” home computer desktops during the day and use it. Likewise, in the evenings and weekends, I’d like to connect to my work computer and use it. All run XP and the two I want to use in this arrangement run XP professional. Questions: 1. Will echovnc allow me to do what I want to do? 2. Can I, or do I need to configure both PCs as servers to do this? 3. In connection to question two, is a 3rd server such as demo.echovnc.com necessary, or for some reason desirable and 4. Do I have to be “logged in” on both machines for this to work and, if yes, what will logged in mean in this case (I read on the list about a 10 minute time out, or something)? Thanks.   -A-
