A friend of mine is a complete novice with computers. She runs Windows XP Home and has a broadband connection. Her ISP assigns her a (possibly) different IP address every time she connects.
I run XP Pro/SP2, have a broadband connection and my ISP has assigned me a *fixed* IP address (yes, really). I'm comfortable installing and configuring software. Can she and I each run some VNC-based software so that when we are both running it we can do the following: 1. I can see her desktop 2. I can see her mouse movements, selections and what happens when she clicks on something - left, right, double click 3. I can take control of her mouse in such a way that she can see what I do 4. I can enter data from my keyboard into her computer I'm happy to run a server of some sort so that she connects to me or I'm happy to ask her to run a server. Asking her what her current IP address is might be a bit beyond her (sorry, that's not intended to be condescending). Is there some flavour of VNC which will do this? It needs to be *very* simple for her to install. Would I be better off using Windows Remote Assistance? Something else?
