Providing you have the TCP/IP protocol installed and working on the PCs concerned, you can use a suite of programs called VNC to remote control one from the other. Free. I think it's from Cambridge Labs, but google or dogpile or someone else will tell you.

Need to run VNCserver in startup on pcs that you want to control, and use VNCviewer on the PC you want to do the controlling.

Works OK across a WAN, LAN or even the web (but you need to know the IP address of the PC you want to control, of course - or its' DNS name).

Good luck.

VNC is really the best option. It's available free in http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ and you can even mix Unix and Windows machines in your network. Another good option for PC's is Norton PCAnyWhere but then you'll have to pay a little more forit.

Good luck,
Gilberto
