Sent you to the wrong link. What you want is a VNC, not a VPN. http://www.realvnc.com/ This will do what you want, and be much easier to setup than a VPN. Mr S. :-) Whoops.

This will do what you want, and be much easier to setup than a VPN.

That is exactly what I was looking for (except for it not being consumer friendly) It's going to take me a while to figure it all out, but for as much as I complain about networking, I really enjoy it. It will be fun sinking my teeth into this one. If I can learn how to create my own private VPN, I could put a monitor in my kitchen as well. It won't improve my cooking, but at least I'll have something to watch while I'm burning dinner. Tell Mr S. thank you for me.

As long as your on the same local network, it should be pretty straight-forward to setup. (If you have to go thru network firewalls, it's harder) http://www.vpnlabs.com/ Mr S. says:

I suppose that the end result would be the same, but with my cable plugs in the back, it'd be more ideal to stream the computer from the living room. I also like the idea that a family could buy one massively powerful computer and then set up 5 different monitor stations for everyone to tap into.
