If you have followed my previous posts on how to set up workgroup and file sharing in your home network.
You maybe commuted between your computers to configure, debug, inspect results... What a hack...
How nice if we can sit on one computer and remote control other computers without physically walked there. Fortunetly, we have a very easy solution with VNC server.
"VNC is remote control software which allows you to view and fully interact with one computer desktop (the "VNC server") using a simple program (the "VNC viewer") on another computer desktop anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view a Windows Vista desktop at the office on a Linux or Mac computer at home. For ultimate simplicity, there is even a Java viewer, so that any desktop can be controlled remotely from within a browser without having to install software."
To set up VNC server-client connections.
Download and install RealVNC (Free Edition is good enough) from
SelectVNC Free Edition for Windows
Installer including both Server and Viewer
Follow the install wizard, which will show you how to configure a vnc server on your computer so that other computers can remote control your computer after login with password. The wizard also installs a vnc viewer, so that you can remote login and control other vnc-server installed computers.
After installing vnc servers and clients on all your home computers.
Sit in front of one of your pc, Click START -> All Programs -> RealVNC -> VNC viewer 4 -> Run VNC viewer
In the server text box, type in the IP address of the remote computer and click OK. In the next screen, input the correct password and click OK.
Walla, magic.
