Comments on: Remote everything using Remobo
From file-sharing to secure VPN networks, Remobo can do it all. Unfortunately, it's also buggy, and just not ready for a big debut. See what's good, what's bad, and what's just plain ugly in this promising program.
Nice story though, wish there was more stories like this (new and interesting software), and less about... Firefox updates (page filler). For real though, I'm a big fan of Firefox, and even I don't read those stories.

One of amazing features - it does not require neither computer to have a real IP.
I use no-ip.com to give my host machine a permanent url (mybox.theirdomain.com) and can RD to it from any other connected computer in the world. I have a user account for friends on the host computer, and we share files at ftp speed, while keeping them out of all other parts of my computer.
It is straight forward, and simply works. I had it up and running in no time. The best thing is, it does not require any software to be installed on either machine, although you can if you want to provide more permanent access to a paricular PC.
Peter Butler, I think this is a great oversight to not include TeamViewer in the list you mention in your article especially because it is free for non commercial use.
This is an excellent program that definetly deserves more attention.
Unlike Remobo, it doesn't need to be installed on client side as it's accessed with a browser (the drawback is a VNC a less performant than Logmein, but that goes through firewalls ;) ), which is a great plus.
