Remote Assistance while user is not at computer

[Pearl]

I have a computer at home that is always on....cable internet. I have a
laptop that I take on the road. My question is: Can I do a remote
assistance to my home computer to get to some files while on the road? In
other words, how can i get remote control to my own computer at home with
Remote Assistance.

You can try using Remote Desktop, this will require you using a Dynamic DNS
service to establish a URL. This can be done for free. UltraVNC can work,
but you may find that corporate firewalls block it.
