Speaking of VNC, I ran across this remote control site that is similar to GoToMyPC, with a few less features but it's free. There's a restriction that you can't transfer files with the client. http://www.LogMeIn.com ``LogMeIn.com provides secure remote access solutions. All products include a desktop remote control that allows you to use your PC from any web-enabled remote device, including PDAs and laptops.`` Like GoToMyPC, because it runs as a service (on XP) and connects to their servers through port 80, it slices and dices firewalls.
