My entire family is spread out around the world and as we travel a lot we never seem to have the right files with us when we need them. Is there a way to access our external hard drives at our house without having a computer next to it hooked into it. Also I've been hearing about using a VPN network, if that's what I need, how do I set it up (Step-by-Step)? Also if there isn't a way to do this securely without a computer hooked into it I still need to know how to access the Hard Drive and files via the internet.

When i try to burn a movie that I download and I use Roxio to burn it, the program stops responding. I go as far as adding the video and then I hit burn and the movie stops responding. What should I do? Customer care told me to uninstall the software and then reinstall it. But I have done that. Now they say to reinstall all the software on the computer. Do you think this will work or what could i do differently?
