Is the other computer on Smart Bro? I missed that. In any case, this is PLUG so I'll assume at least one of the computers' running Linux.
If you want exclusive, unrestricted access to the remote computer, it would be better to setup a VPN tunnel between them. But first, you'll have to get the public Internet address of both ends, or at least one. Chances are, each computer is connected to an Internet router/gateway. Better give us more details of your setup. As far as VPN is concerned, you have a number of options:SSL VPN, IPsec and PPTP. This is the order of my recommendation. Any one would server your need. --- mike t. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Dax Solomon Umaming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical > Discussion List <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2007 9:22:14 PM > Subject: Re: [plug] how to connect to remote computer > > On Dec 8, 2007 8:21 PM, joey eisma wrote: > > > i need to do remote connection to a computer: > > > > > > some info are as follows: > > > > > > ...DNS suffix - meridiantelekoms.com > > > IP Address - 192.168.233.x > > > Subnet Mask - 255.255.224.x > > > ..Gateway - 192.168.224.x > > > > > > while mine is > > > > > > ...DNS suffix - gateway.2wire.net > > > IP Address - 192.168.1.x > > > Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.x > > > ..Gateway - 192.168.1.x > > > > > > what configurations should i do so that my pc can "see" (ping) this > > > remote computer. > > The other PCs using SmartBro, while you may be using PLDT or Globe, > you > can > forward some ports on your router to allow connections from > the > SmartBro one. > > However, I don't think you can access the SmartBro PC using > some > popular > remote access apps like VNC.
