I would want to administer a computer via the internet. One of the computers are connected via CABLE and the other via modem to a service provider. The cable connected computer runs Win2000 AS and the remote computer Win 98. What software can I use to be able to take control of the Win98 computer to administer/make changes? I would like to be able to restart the machine remotely as well? This is 2 private computers, not connected or part of any domain?

PC Anywhere does work well; however, does not have a great deal of security if that's an issue.

Another option is MS SMS, though it is a much larger application and can accomplish the remote control (w/reboot), inventory, package installations, software sharing, silent installs, monitoring, etc. This may be more than you're looking for right now.

But thought I'd share the info.

Good luck to you,
Linda B.

Helped a lot, thank you very much. As security is an issue, SMS worked fantastic.

Thank you
