Hi,
my brother is going to paris for a year to study (lucky
)
He bought a laptop and since im the-family-unpaid-tech-support-you-better-fix-it-or-ill-throw-the-computer-by-the-window ( ) I would like to be able to access it via VNC once he will be gone... In his residence he will be able to plug a network cable into the wall and have internet access. I thought of installing a dyndns.org client on his computer, install vnc service, and i could connect to him. But i'm pretty sure the network is behind a firewall...
How can I achieve it? The laptop is running win98 right now, but i will install (hopefully) win2K in a near future, and my computer is a winXP.
Will the "Run VNC Viewer in listen mode" on my computer could help? I've read about something on SHH tunneling.. How can i do this on both windows computer?? I have a university account so I could have access to a unis box, maybe usefull?
Tank you very much guys.
