Listening to a podcast I enjoy, I discovered a great little program for accessing computers remotely over the interwebs. This is TeamViewer I'm talking about. After installing a copy on your machine (client) and on the machine you are trying to access (server), it allows you to access one computer from the other without having to bother with port forwarding or anything else like that. It is still fairly safe, as you have the option of giving out a randomly generated numbers every time you want to allow access to your computer. There is an option of a permanent number as well, however that does come with a bit less security of course. If you go that route, just make sure to make a complex password for it.

It worked well with my Windows Vista and Ubuntu 11.04, but it is supposed to work on Macs are well.
