remote control - pcAnywhere
I've got a PC from home that I want to be able to control it from work. Basically I have HomeSeer installed and I'd like to control it from work from time to time. So far I have pcAnywhere installed on both PCs and I was able to get into the home PC from work no problem.

So far I have pcAnywhere installed on both PCs and I was able to get into the home PC from work no problem. Home PC is running @Home cable and it's connected to a Linksys 4-Port Router and DMZ is enabled on the PC.
For pcAnywhere, I have set up a password so to open a session, a password is required. I also encrypted the data transmission using pcAnywhere default encryption method.
Is there anything I can do to safe-guard the PC? Do I necessary to enable DMZ on the router? Can I just enable certain ports instead?
The home PC is running Windows 2000, can I use IP filtering so it will only accept my PC from work? That seems to be the best route to go, don't you think?
Sorry, I have too many questions to ask Thanks for your response.
