How do I remotely connect to different computers on my home network? I have one IP address that I connect to, but it goes directly to one computer. How do I get connected to the others? Thanks in advance for any help!!

you say you have a home network but your internet connects to only one computer...does this mean that you do not have a router?

Try www.logmein.com for FULL visual access to multiple PC's. If you only want to share files, that is a little different... Which do you ask help for?

I use Real VNC on my network. It's designed to access remotely across the internet too. I have used it both ways. Works Great!

edit - Sorry, after I re-read your post, you may not be looking for an actual remote desktop program. If you are already using a remote program to access your PC's. You'll have to use the IP addresses that are assigned inside the network by the router (eg.192.168.1.101) . Then you'll probably have to use port forwarding on the router to point your Remote Program to the individual PC's behind the router. Hope that makes sense. It's what I had to do

Sorry for the delayed reply, forget to set up for instant email notification!! I do have a wireless network at home and a wireless router. I remotely connect from work using my ip config address, but when I connect I see my main computer at home...not my laptop that I want to connect to.
