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.

    Hello,

     

    You may want to look into UltraVNC - a free substitute to remote assistance,

    does what you want.

    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.
