   From outside your network, you’ll need to first have opened ports into your network (i.e. firewall configuration changes - port forwarding). You’ll then need to enable remote desktop connectivity (feature of the professional and ultimate versions of Windows) for Microsoft system, ssh for Linux, telnet/ssh for various UNIX, and I’m not sure for Mac. At that point, login with privileged credentials and you’re set to alter the systems as needed.

   Load each computer with one of the free VNC programs like TightVNC or UltraVNC.
   Install VNC server as a service on each of the machines you want to support. Load VNC viewer on your machine. Reboot all machines

   Now when you need to “reach out and touch” one if the other machines, fire up VNC viewer, enter the local IP address for the machine, enter the password you created when you set up the machine, and you are in

   You have complete remote control of the machine and can see the desktop of the machine on yours.

   Have fun
