Handy for systems that don't have a terminal server for RDP like windows XP pro.

Team Viewer is another possibility but I have not really used that so I don't know if it's much good.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

I see tight vnc is also available on Linux. I wonder if I can access a windows machine from a Linux system now that would be handy. Thanks guys I'll have a look into then and see which works out best.

Just ensure when you install the software on the remote PC that you do select Free Trial as it defaults to Pro. It can be changed in the control panel later, though.

As Mav says, just ensure you opt for 'Trial', and it will automatically revert to free in a couple of weeks or so.
I've been using it for about three years with about a dozen 'clients' and have encountered no problems.

TightVNC 1.3 is available for Windows and Linux (viewer and server), and there is also a Java viewer.
TightVNC 2.5 is available for Windows and Java.
There are several other VNC clients and servers which should interact.

Just tried it now from my home laptop through the web interface and there is no option to wake up that computer. It says that the computer needs to switched on already!
Maybe I need to enable the wake over modem, thought I'd look a bit more into it first before releasing a work computer into the wild. Curious, would I also need to change some settings on the router? Another thing that worries me is at which point in the boot up process will be able to access the keyboard? Reason being the machine at work I need to accesss dual boots with ubuntu so I would need to use the arrow buttons to start up windows or possibly set that machine to boot into windows by default on that machine. Worse case I can uninstall ubuntu, I only dual boot on that machine so I can mess about with linux at work before making any changes to my home system.

As far as I know when you use Wake Up Over LAN it's because the remote PC is already booted into Windows but in sleep mode.
I have just done a test here with my laptop and rebooted remotely hoping to be able to press Delete to get into BIOS. Unfortunately as soon as the remote PC is shutdown the LogMeIn connection is lost and you can only reconnect once it is back into Windows. You can, of course, at that point enter any relevant passwords to access a specific account.
