I wouldn't use any of the Third Party tools above. They can possibly open up security issues, If someone knows the IP address to the computer they can give a hack a try. A great free tool that works on any computer even if you are using a internal address is http://www.logmein.com. It utilizes 256bit encryption. The client is installed locally. Even if someone had your ip address it would be useless since you connect via the logmein website.
But you were implying that logmein is immune to such hacks - which is completely false. Bit level on encryption only goes so far - 128 bit encryption is typical great - except when implemented in a Wireless LAN using WEP - because wep doesn't change the key and in turn it can be quickly and easily guessed.
In fact, many companies will BLOCK logmein because it IS a security threat. Someone gets ahold of your password and username, then they can get direct access to your systems. Now I've not tried logmein - but I don't think it allows for multi-factor authentication. A good cisco VPN (and probably many other VPN products) can encrypt the data and use RSA keys or similar - things that may be prohibitively expensive to do for every workstation, but for a few VPN authorized users, it makes sense.
I'm just surprised that you would recommend a third party service as being more secure when you know better...
With logmein you have two points of authentication. You have your intial logmein info then you have the local server info. This is the best you will get without spending thousands of dollars on RSA keys or a cisco VPN. All I was saying is Logmein is more secure than the other IP based remote admin tools. My whole security point is you cannot install logmein on your computer and get access to my servers no matter what you try, you have to install the client on the local machine and register it locally with logmein.com. If you use PCAnywhere, VNC, or other software I can type in the ip address and get a login prompt. Just by having the two points of login it is more secure than the other software. For a little example if you use VNC you are giving someone your ATM card so they can try figure out your pin. If you use Logmein you give them your ATM card but it's locked in box so they have to get in the box first. Your right Ideally you would want to use RSA keys or simliar.
Here take a look here.

> If you use PCAnywhere, VNC, or other software I can type in the ip address and get a login prompt.
You're assuming there's no firewall. I'm assuming the user is using VPN - both assumptions could be wrong...
Is logmein multiplatform? Timbuktu and VNC are - that's one of their advantages. But again, in a well planned environment, no such remote access would be permitted without a strong VPN client.
Since logmein uses port 80 firewalls are rarely a problem. Doesn't matter what the ip address is either as long as the computer has access to the internet. Yes VPN is ideal, I use an RSA token along with Citrix for my government accounts but logmein for others. Plus the best part about logmein is it's free.
Target PC (the computer that you will access remotely):
Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Server 2003.
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later.
A computer always connected to the Internet via cable modem, ISDN, or DSL.
On Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 you must be a user with administrative privileges to install the software. You can check your current username or add new users to your PC by opening the Control Panel on your PC and clicking on User Accounts.
Local PC (the computer you will use to access the Target PC):
To remotely access your Target PC, all you need is any computer connected to the Internet or any web-enabled Pocket PC device.
Before you install RealVNC - i would consider the following
RealVNC is the oldest of 3 VNC software titles by the same org - after Real is TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com) and after that (around about June 05) is UltraVNC (www.ultravnc.com)
i would recomend getting either Tight or Ultra VNC (I use Tight)

If you mean 2000 Professional, you don't. The feature was introduced in XP. For 2000 you would need a third party tool such as VNC, PC Anywhere, Dameware, or Timbuktu (among others).
If you mean server, then you need to go to Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components, and look through the list for Terminal Services (not Terminal Services Licensing Server). That will allow a Remote Desktop session to the server only.
