[dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem

Note that you need to run the server as a service if the machines may be
locked or no user is logged on.  I found this out after about 3 weeks of not
being able to figure out why I could not connect to my work PC from home.

As an aside, I also use Hamachi so that my comms from work->home and
home->work are encrypted.

Depends on what you mean by "Server" :-)

Both Real and Tight VNC use the terminology Server/Viewer, not
Server/Client.

You need to run the server on all the machines, you can run it either as a
normal user app or as a service. 
You run the Viewer on the machine you are working from.
