If you don't mind your pictures being out on the internet as an intermediate stage, there are numerous places that allow you to upload your photographs and then "share" them, including with yourself, so you could let someone get to them back home while you continue on the road.
I assume you are looking to avoid clogging up email with JPG attachments that are big.
I'm not sure about VPN.? Is it a program? Something built in windows? I looked it up on the net and found a program you can buy but i was hoping to avoid that. And usually there is someone home but not always . Mostly i have all stuff on my home computer and want to bring it to my laptop, I've figured out the home wireless so far , easier than i thought. But i was just hoping windows had something i could use network over the net. Kinda like remote assistance??? But without having to send a invitation. No big deal. It would be just a more conveinent for me. Thanks for the replies though!!!!
On any computer running Windows XP with SP1, disable the Windows XP firewall. It will not allow File and Printer Sharing. On computers running Windows XP with SP2, make sure that the Windows XP firewall has File and Printer Sharing checked off on the Exceptions tab. If you are running any third party firewalls, like those provided by such programs as Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security, or McAfee Security Suite, make sure they are configured to allow local network traffic
I'm sorry if i lead ya'll in the wrong direction with the network Question. What I'm trying to find out is how to connect to my home computer while I'm away as in another city/state. I got the home network figured out though but i have a new problem connecting my daughters computer to my shared printer but that's another post. Again many thanks for taking the time to help me!!!:smileyhappy:
