Does anyone use remote access to your computer? I use it when I am at work if I have to restart scannercast or restart my computer in case my feed goes down.

SSH is the only way to go for those in the know.Remote access (via SSH) is the *only* way I can get to my feed computer!
I saw the link for LogMeIn, but where do you go to find SSH? I did a search but the findings were varried.
I guess I need to hang around smart people more often...
I can't figure that stuff out.
For UltraVNC, did you find the online install and config pages?
Install: Install - UltraVNC: Remote Support Software, Remote Support tool,Remote Desktop Control, Remote Access Software, PC Remote Control
Configure server: Configure - UltraVNC: Remote Support Software, Remote Support tool,Remote Desktop Control, Remote Access Software, PC Remote Control
To get to the configuration screen, once you have installed there should be an icon in the systray (looks sort of like an eye on mine). You can double-click that, and the config window opens. The short-and-sweet is to make sure the "Accept Socket Connections" box is checked, then put in a VNC password.
Once those are done, you should be able to run the UltraVNC *client* on another computer, point it to your computer's IP (again, the actual computer IP if on the same network, or your public IP if on the 'net) and it will ask for the VNC password, then show the desktop.
In this case, you will have to forward port 5900 inside your router to get access remotely.
UltraVNC does also support a browser-mode so you don't have to install the client on the other machines, but I don't normally use it. Check the "Enable JavaViewer" box and it should let you browse to something like "192.168.1.2:5800" (the IP must be your computer's IP, again) and bring up your desktop in the browser.
That's the quick-n-dirty rundown. Does that help any?!?
I use... Windows LiveMesh.
Quite nice, actually. Basically, the exact same as RDP but without the remote configuration hassles. Quite secure, also.
