The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Check out the latest PCWorld article on remote access software...and it's free:

    For all of those that want to take their desktops with them, now you can (kind of). VNC is a wonderful program, but takes some time to master fully.

    The problem I have is that the ISPs are starting to block connections like this and there's no way to get them to add holes in their firewalls.

    Very true, but I would not suggest anyone using dial-up to access the desktop remotely...things just run to slowly.

    Heh, missed your question, Fuse (Cincinnati Bell). That's why I go with Road Runner!

    It isn't a router or modem problem?
