Without getting into Windows file sharing, etc.

I'll make it simple, get PC anywhere, install on both machines.

You can telnet, but you have to have to have the OS's setup to file share.

If you want to take over his machine remotely for fault fixing try WinVNC from here <a href="http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/" target="_blank">WinVNC Web Page</a> It makes it much quicker if any screen wallpaper is removed before (or during) the connection.

A commercial application which does the same thing is SecureUp's Filespread RSA from <a href="http://www.secureup.com/filespread/" target="_blank">SecureUp</a>

Haven't tried Filespread but WinVNC is very helpful when trying to show/tell a newbie what to do on his new toy! What would be perfect would be a voice connection over the net at the same time but I don't think modem access would be able to handle that.
