Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Hi from Birmingham

Hi, I just joined this forum on the off-chance of getting some excellent support from some pro networkers.

Basically, I've been doing some voluntary work for a couple of years and I've became in charge of a few computers at work. One has the internet, and I'm planning on routing them all up with the internet somehow, if i can get a huge mega-multi-way adaptor for my router. I recently saw at my college that they had a nice desktop monitoring system where from their admin computer they could view the screen of any other terminal inside some virtual program thing - and they could type on their keyboard and move their mouse as if they're sitting at the other terminal. Amazing!

Do we have any experts or anyone with a bit of advice on helping me to set something like this up? Anything free would be cool, and I might have a couple of hundred pounds (that's a few hundred dollars for those outside the UK) to spend on something that someone highly recommends, but free is much preferred of course.

I'm not a complete tech newbie, indeed I have a few tricks up my sleeve, but anything beyond the basic drives in My Computer (hard disk, flobby, usb) is very much unfamilair to me. I would experiment at home but I don't have the internet, not a computer to hook up to it, nor even electricity to power it

Any advice would be much appreciated (on sorting out some cool networking stuff at work for minimal cost).
