I have a peer-to-peer network of 4 Pc's 3 running win2k and one win98 se. They are connected to AT&T cable modem @Home (dynamic IP, I think) via a linksys router with IP 192.168.1.1. How can I access all or one of my PC's from my office. What remote software is needed and settings. I am new into this network stuff more so, remote access. Any help will be appreciated or you can point me to a web site that has documentation on this subject.

Thank you.

By default the most of the incoming ports are closed. If you want to make it real easy you can go into the router config area. Under the advanced tab you will see a DMZ tab. Set the ip address of the computer that you want to have exposed in this screen and make sure that you have file sharing on and the drive shared. At that point you should be able to map to your PC at home using the IP address of the Router. (Make sure it is the external address, not the 192 address)

I use this same router at home and it works like a charm.

Best of Luck!
