Linking 2 PC over the internet ???

[EDD32]

Hi ppl,

1-
can i link my PC (@home, win98se) to a friend's PC (@his home far away!, winXP) ? He has ADSL and i have cable.
i need a link so that he can download files frm my PC directly.
2-
and perhaps frm time to time get access to his machine so that i can see his desktop as he gets stuck now and again and i like to b able 2 see whats his doing wrong !!! (I understand netmeeting has this kind of capability)

thanks alot.

1.) Set up an FTP server. I use Bulletproof FTP. It's simple.


2.) XP has remote desktop built in.
