OK, we are moving away from my original question. No the camera's do not use
any web access. The Camera's are only one of multiple Security items I am
using to protect the House (It is quite a system). The question is How do I
access and CONTROL the Computers at Home when I am traveling? I need Access
that allows me to control the Home PC. All Home Pc's are Windows XP, the
Router is a BEFSR81. The Home Computers all attach to the Router. I have a
Static IP, that should help!! The Remote Computers have: Laptop - Windows XP
Home, Truck - Windows XP Pro. I have Looked at the links, is that all there
is for help? I guess I will have to try some of the software, it looks very
complicated. I was looking for an Windows XP Solution using Remote Access,
the only concern I had is it will not work when I am not at Home to authorize
the Access. I think your telling me to use third party software, I have a
long way to go in the learning process for Remote access. Is there any
Software (not necessairly free) that is a lot more user friendly (for the
Secure Access Tunnel) more like a "Turnkey" solution?

Just use Remote Desktop and a *STRONG* password for access then...

Here is another option for accessing multiple PCs behind a firewall with Remote Desktop. No VPN required, just multiple ports open on your firewall...

Good luck...
