I have a free standing PC at work and a freestanding PC at home. Both are connected to the internet. I run windows 98se on both of them. Is it possible to access my Hard drive in work from home....and if this is possible...how do I do it?.......Thanks....

You could use pc anywhere. or upgrade to XP on both since it's built into XP.

The above answers will allow you to control your work PC from home but not access the data on its hard drive locally.

For this you need a virtual private network, often referred to as a VPN. This is a secure method of using the internet to accessremote data.

There is no simple answer to setting this up although its not difficult.
