Haha, man..I tried that. I had trouble talking them through their router interface. That's the problem with these GUI interfaces, they're not all the same. I don't think they have any beefy routers anyway, probably just some home versions with everything set to default.

I'll probably try the free version of VNC. Once installed, I could probably set everything else up myself.

Have you ever tried msn messenger and remote assistance? I can get it to work within Hawaii, but not other states.
