1.	Solve : using one router like the "GoToMyPC" technology?
Answer» all, Would it be possible for me to connect to one computer that is connected to the same router as my requesting computer? What I want to do is use my one router that I have as a substitute for a LAN. I know that really can't be done technically, but I really want to work on, and modify files that are on my home machine in my living room, from my little netbook. Ideally I would be in my basement working on files that are located on my desktop upstairs. Is this sort of thing possible? Both MACHINES would be connected to the same router, and according to the ISP, they do not recycle IPs at all, so the address would never change. I have limited amount of knowledge about DOS, but I do understand how to connect to an IP, ping them, FTP concepts, etc... Any help from the gurus here would certainly be appreicated! Thanks so much!

all,

Would it be possible for me to connect to one computer that is connected to the same router as my requesting computer? What I want to do is use my one router that I have as a substitute for a LAN.

Ideally I would be in my basement working on files that are located on my desktop upstairs.
