question about remote access?

Question

I would like to set up a way for a friend to access my win 2000 pro comp. from a remote point via the internet.

My friend often uses the computers at the local librbary to check his email and such. I believe these computers are running win 98 (although they may have upgraded to XP, or be in the process of doing so). I'm running Windows 2000 professional SP4. I set up a user account in my friend's name on my machine. I'd like him to be able to access this account from the machines in the library. I'd also love it if it did not require any extra software, at least on the client side as he probably can't go installing tunneling software on the library computers.

So, how can we set this up? could he simply type in my IP and win2k then ask for his user name and password? Or is telnet the only answer that doesn't require more software?

Please, if answering, be detailed, and don't assume I know things I might not know. If your answer is very long, email it to [e-mail]

Answer 1

If you use web mail, like hotmail or Yahoo, you can access your e-mail from anywhere.

At work, we are networked. I simply go online, type in www.yahoo.com, then sign in and check for urgent mail.

If you want to allow your friend to merely get his e-mail, set up an account for him with Yahoo. All he needs to do is to type in as I did and sign in.
