Hi Greg,

I'm not sure if Vista has Remote Desktop but that is what
I use when using a WIRED LAN setup on XP.
Others use VNC with success too I have heard.

I set up the network switch/hub first then connected with RD.
You setup a password to the outside dome PC and log on
from the inside PC.

Once past the login it is as if you are sitting at the outside PC.

I can also shift files from outside to inside using the Shared Documents
folder.

Is this what you meant?
BTW I didn't have a lot of success with a wireless LAN when I first tried
to set it all up as wireless. That's why I went down the wired path.
It works, is rock solid and very enjoyable to use.
Hopefully someone can help with wireless advice!

Steve
