If your internet connection is dependent on activity, then you need something to happen. This could be an automated thing like an email server (Just so happens I have written one, http://www.revilloc.com/mailserver) or do a ping (though not guaranteed to keep the connection open).

I have another concern that I believe is the basic issue with using VNC or any remote access software. First of all, for me to be in Maryland and use vnc to connect to my PC in Missouri, someone has to be on the internet at the PC there. If somone gets on the internet and walks away for sometime, that PC will lose connection to the internet after. So my question to you is, isn't true that the internet connection will be lost because there is no activity and so I will not be able to access the PC in Missouri? Is there a simple solution to this?

You can have DSL, broadband (DSL is a broadband type), Dial Up, kilostream (another broadband type), ISDN (another broadband type) or anything. In fact, if the machine is connected to the internet, it will work. All you need is TCP/IP and if you are on the net, you will have TCP/IP.

One more question. What kind of internet connection would I need, DSL or broadband? Victor David Colliver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, 1. If you have your own private network to the machine in Missouri, then you can access it without connection to the internet. However, I bet you don't have one so yes, it will need to be connected. How else could you connect to it? (unless your "server" has Remote Access Server where you can dial in and get an IP address, in which case, it would be a private network) 2. How can you do otherwise?

I am about to install VNC but need a few more clarification before proceeding. More question. 1) Does the PC (server) in Missouri have to be connected to the internet for the client in Maryland to have access to it? 2) Does the server PC have to be on for the client to have access to it? Victor David Colliver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, The PC in Missouri, for the purpose of this exercise is the server and the PC in Maryland is the client. The "server" is software that is connected to from another piece of software (the "client"). The server can be another PC with software installed to be connected to. You need to install VNC Server onto the PC in Missouri. You can then see it from the PC in Maryland (the client) Hope this answers your questions.
