🚀 go-pugleaf

I use the software from www.access-remote-pc.com

Works wired/wireless (Server on the desktop, and client on the laptops.. and 
Works via lan or dial up when I am away), worked first time and pretty neat, 
and with others versions of windows too (sister has 98se, works from her 
house to mine)

It did however cost about $35... wasn't free
