>> Hi all,
>>
>> First time on this group, but not a newbie to ng's.
>>
>> Short Question: When moving from 56k dialup on XP Pro to DSL,
>> will I still be able to make Remote Access to another computer at
>> another location via the 'net?
>>
>> I recently got into a talk with my know-it-all son (who actually
>> does seem to know it all, but not always <g>) and he indicated
>> that I wouldn't be able to make remote accesses to/from my
>> sister's machine when the DSL is turned on. My sister had her
>> DSL turned on last week, and I'm waiting for mine to be turned on
>> (Verizon DSL).
>> Probably every 4 to 6 weeks I log onto my sister's machine and
>> do housekeeping for her, sometimes troubleshooting depending on
>> what's happening. That was via two 56k dialup accounts and it
>> all went well this last year or so. She's a user, not a do-er,
>> so I help keep her machine in decent shape that way because I'm
>> disabled and cannot travel at all.
>>
>> My son says it'll no longer work, however, without figuring out
>> how to jump thru a few hoops. I know I'll find out soon enough,
>> but I'd like to rub it in that he's -wrong- before he and his
>> family leave next week! You know, kinda rub it in that the ol'
>> man's not so dumb after all? OH for the days when Dad knew
>> EVERYTHING! <g>.
>> I did a little research and pretty quickly got confused
>> because it started into tunneling, VPN and other areas I'm not
>> familiar with at all and never got anywhere that gave me any
>> comfort level that I could figure it out on my own.
>> Oh yes, I'm also familiar with using the VNC freebie on my own
>> LAN so I'm not exactly a complete newbie, but I'm not far from it
>> either. In reality my "LAN" consists of an XP Pro machine and a
>> laptop that I can move around to different connection points
>> within the house. WGLLT, ya know?
>>
>> Any comments/experience/ a better newsgroup for the question much
>> appreciated.
