Martha sent an article about LogMeIn. LogMeIn is the parent company of Join.Me - the app I use to work on the computer remotely with students. LogMeIn allows for remote access of all of your computers. It is free and works on the Mac and PC. I don't often have two computers on at the same time, with the exception of the laptop and iPad, although some might question that assertion. Dropbox has probably been the main reason that I don't use LogMeIn anymore. I would never have any files in DropBox that reveal any confidential information. Most of the files relate to meeting minutes or course lessons. Anyway, LogMeIn is a very nice app if you need a file that is stored on a remote computer..
There is one very easy solution to all this - free Ammyy Admin

It doesn't require installation or specific config. It works behind gateways NAT without port mapping as well as within one LAN.
Good alternative though!
