Hi, Can anyone suggest the best way to access my Home Laptop whilst I'm at work? Running software, opening files, transferring files from here....everything. I know about XP's Remote Connection but from what I read I have to be on a corporate connection etc. Plus, I wouldn't want to trust Microsoft'...

Thanks soupie. Knew i'd get a great answer from u!
I dont wanna pay for anything coz i'll be using it very rarely from work - just to check if downloads are over at home, or to start new ones etc.

Will check out the freebies!

Cheers!

What does it mean when someone has been appointed a Lord in the UK?
What can they do? Any 'special powers'?
Influence wise? Immigration wise? Citizenship wize? Getting you out of jail stuff?

LIke here how a Sheikh can pretty much do anything ....what about a Lord there?

VoIP will only be offered for calls within the UAE.

I'm sure there are other posts on this, so forgive me, but what are the alternatives to skype, which are unblocked here in UAE? Note: I'm not in a freezone area; so i need something unblocked by the Etisalat proxy.

Thanks!

Hey, I have a linksys router and trying to put some apps under port forwarding (namely Bitcomet and TightVNC). In the port forwarding place, there is a field called Application. Then the other fields are where you enter the port numbers etc. My question is, in the Application field, can I put any na...

Shukran very much!

should help with everything regarding port forwarding

Thanks. Ive been 2 that site and thats where i saw the funny app. names, thus i asked!

I use Zonealarm Security Suite.
It's supposed to be the best firewall though, and the new version they may introduce soon will use the Kapersky (i think) anti virus engine, so should be really good.

if you are having problems with bit torrents, there are known bugs with linksys wrt54g routers, if you do a google search you'll find a patch to fix this and additional info. Keep us posted and good luck. Thanks fayz. No, not having a 'problem' with bitcomet, i just wanted to get the max. speed out...
