11588 2001-04-19 23:28:00 Hi,
I have two computers for our business, one at home and one at our office. I would like to know how to get these so I could use files on the computer at work while I am at home over a network. I have configured both computers to work with dial up networking but it still doesnt work. How do I get the computer at work to act as the server so I can dial up and use the files?

The easy way to connect into your work PC from home(or vice versa)is to use 'PC Anywhere', a quick check on searchnow.co.nz shows that PC Anywhere host and client costs about $262.
Install it on your PC at work and run it as a host (using log-in and password security settings)
At home, install PC Anywhere and dial into the work PC. When you connect to the work PC, it will be just like you are sitting in front of it (albeit things run a little slower). If you want to copy files to and from, there is also a very good file transfer component of it.

From personal experience, PC Anywhere is used widely in the business world and is very reliable and easy to install/use.
