How can i access my business computer from my home computer without internet connection?

You can't. You need something for the data to travel through. (Internet connection).

Beam me up captain Kirk.

Assuming you do have an internet connection between the two the simplest way is

1) Install a free program called VNC

full vnc ( with server ) on computer you want to control

the viewer only on the comptuer that will watch or control the other

free edition is fine

2) You enter the ip of the remote computer in the viewer

that is all

now this is assuming the ip never changes

it will

dsl - every time log on

cable broadband from time to time

use a ip tracking service

you get an account

install the program on the computer to be watched

assign a name to the computer that will be watched

for example yahooanswers.no-ip.info or whatever you sign up

easier to remember and when it changes the ip the name does not change

so you would enter yahooanswers.no-ip. info in the server name in the vnc viewer

Now if you have a router at the end of the compute being watched ./ controlled the router may well block the ports - not letting you in. Ditto with firewalls including windows xp firewall

to open the ports detailed instructions at

Some people use a free service called Hamachi to easily get through the router with minimal set up. You can also share stuff easily between the computers

It is actually quite easy. If you add in a router and a changing ip over time it gets a little more complex

You can set it up initially with the ip of the remote computer (

type into google " what is my ip" to get a service to tell you the ip of the computer.

Once you can do it in a simple fashion and see how easy it is you can go from there with your new found skills

Really you can't unless you did something as primitive as turning the work PC into a dial-up server and connecting that way, or something as expensive as running a fiber optic cable from the work PC to home.

You have a few options for over the internet

1. Remote Desktop - (even though you said you don't prefer it) it works great and the only steps are:

enabling the server features at the work PC

configuring the routers and firewalls at the work end to allow packets over port 3389 and to forward packets on that port to your work PC

knowing the IP address of the work internet connection.

2. Use LogMeIn - probably the most hassle-free method: https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp

3. Use Remote Desktop over a VPN - this is more involved but recommended if for some reason you can't allow traffic over port 3389 but can allow a VPN connection.

Note to Lemuel: Remote Desktop can be used anywhere, not just on a LAN. The trick is configuring firewalls and routers to send the connection to the PC of interest. It really wouldn't be of interest for a large company to do that though since then they would have an open port (possible security concern) and any it could only connect 1 internal PC to the company's WAN address. Thus, VPNs make sense.

You cant. You need to have internet access.

Remote desktop can only be used if you are in the same network as you computer, for example here in our office, on my computer I want to connect to a server on the 15th floor and I'm on the 9th floor, since the both computers are in only one LAN, I can remotely connect to the server. But if I live several blocks from the office and want to connect to my office computer there is no other way to get to it but by internet using remote desktop also or VPN (virtual private Network).

Unless you have a cable from your home computer long enough to get connected to the LAN at your office, or your home PC has a wireless adapter strong enough that can connect to the wireless network on your office, that way you wont use the internet.

You need a network connection between the 2 computers

You will not be able to connect without an internet connection. Remote desktop requires that you are connected to the internet or a LAN (local area Network) or other network.

lmao. okay this is physically impossible without some internet connection/wireless connection. Yes, you can control ur business computer at home with remote connection...but that requires a user on ur business computer and one on your home computer WITH an internet connection/ or local area network connection...which requires cables connecting one computer to the other.

One solution though that i think can help your problem without using an internet connection is an external harddrive. I have a 250gb harddrive..i've installed my programs/videos/music and i take it whereever i need to go...u can hook it up to both computers easily and access the data u want on both computers.

You could make it work by using Dial-Up Server (your home computer literally calls (dials up) a phone number to reach your business computer and the two machines can exhange data, share files, resources, etc. However it's a bit technical and I'm not sure if Windows XP and up offers that feature anymore (Windows 9x did). I'd be something to research into though.

Computer shop, wireless Internet card for laptop, usually come with software/ instructions. You have to pay when using Internet service. Most allow wired connection, should use this as much safer than wireless.

this can be done but the speed will be slow. You can use virtual private dial-up network (VPDN). You will have to dial in to your home computer and both will need a dial up modem. This process is a pain in the *** but if you really want this, I can help you setup this thru e-mail. Reference for this. Usualyy, it takes 10 minutes to download a 1 mb file. For me, this was a great technology ages ago. Now, it will be a last resort.

You can not access your business computer without an internet connection. Sorry!
