No need for all that stuff...
Go to www.famatech.com and download a 30 day evaluation of Radmin...
It can be used in any kind of connection, is faster than any other
solution, is almost free (starting at US$ 35,00 for each 2 computaers),
can use encrypted connection and can use NT Level security...
Wow!
I am sure you will look no longer...

Potential Solution is to use the VPN, use a remote control program
(pcanywhere, controlit from ca (old RCO product renamed) or term
serv(has to connect to 2K server)). This way you will not only have a
VPN encrypted connection but you are not opening up a desktop through
the firewall. Once connected on a VPN, you can connect to any internal
boxes with remote control software and do the work as if in the office.
As for speed over broadband. You need a consistent connection speed.
DSL is great for this, but Cable modem speeds vary to much and can cause
sluggishness and frustration.
Best of luck.

i've often heard Remote Admin mentioned on some lists as a good product
(fast & secure), but I can't vouch for it myself. it's cheap, too
($35/2pcs)
thx,

We have a workstation at the office that needs to allow a user remote
access for running software on the workstation. I don't think a VPN
will
work because the user MUST run the software on this machine, as if he
was
seated at it. I'm looking at gotomypc.com and pcanywhere. I don't feel
comfortable using gotomypc.com as this is proprietary company
information
and I don't trust someone else having the access information for the
workstation that has the info on it.
My questions are as follows:
1. Has anyone got experience with the security of PCanywhere running
over
a DSL/cable modem connection? What should I watch out for? From what I
understand, I can use HTTPS as one of the options for the
connection. Anyone know the encryption level? Are all parts of the
transactions secured with encryption?
2. How does the software work if it's over a broadband connection? My
internal IPs aren't valid for routing. How does the software know a
connection is being initiated?
3. Any better solutions come to mind? I'd rather have a PITA setup
that's
secure than a simple one that's not.
4. What security measures should I implement on the users PC to make
sure
that it's secure as well? I won't have physical access to it but for
the
initial setup.
I'll be interested in seeing if this gets posted at all due to the
recent
acquisition of securityfocus by Symantec. Can't bite the hand that
feeds
you, I guess.
Many thanks for any help. Long time reader (well, several months at
least), first time poster.
