[Crashless]

Well since I spent so much time typing it, I guess I'll post a copy of the PM I sent mightyt:

OK, hmm, where to start...

http://www.ultravnc.com

Download the vnc app, and install the server. If you have a second computer, it makes testing easier, install the client app on that and see if you can connect within your own network. Usually typing the server computer's name in the connect box from the client will work from within your own network. Otherwise, try it's internal IP address.

Then, go to your firewall, and open port 5900 for both protocols and point it to your server's internal IP.

Now go to:
http://www.no-ip.com/

And sign up for a free account, pick a domain, and install the software. I don't think you have to open any ports for this program, but it has been a while, so I may be wrong. If this doesn't work, let me know, I'll check my setup.

Now, try to connect to your server using it's outside domain name. put:
yourdomain.no-ip.org:5900

in the connect box on the ultravnc client. If this works, you're almost there.

Now, like I posted, I use a Palm OS, so I can only vouch for PalmVNC's capablities. But a quick google search found:

Looks pretty good. Give that a try. But I'm sure there are others.

Now, once you have all that working, you can start thinking about more security. I'm thinking about buying a VPN router, they're only like $70. This would make a secure tunnel through the internet to your computer and make it like you're on your home network. I haven't done this yet, so I can only be of little help, but if you need to bounce questions off me, go ahead.

Security wise, make sure you set a password for the ultravnc server. A little more security is gained by requiring a windows logon, but I still would refrain from sending personal info through the vnc client until you get a vpn working.

Any questions?
