Re: Access my Home Computer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Where to begin...
1. Does your landlord even know you're using their connection?
If they don't, you're guilty of theft of services, just the same as if you
were stealing cable. If they do, you should be able to explain to them that
you need access to your home machine while at school and ask them to port
forward the appropriate ports to your machine.

2. Does your school know that you intend to connect to an outside resource
from the school's network?
Most schools have rules against this because it can potentially open the
school's network to the bad guys. Keep things above board when working with
someone else's equipment (landlord, school, employer, etc.) you will find
that it makes things easier on you when everyone knows what you're doing with
their stuff. Otherwise, you end up trying to explain/excuse yourself out of
trouble WHEN they find out what your up to.
