What to use besides PC Anywhere?

I use PC Anywhere when I'm at work to access Gunbroker because it is blocked from there, at least sometimes. It lets me log in to my PC at home and remotely use it. The only problem is, it's slow. Does anyone know another way to remotely access your home computer?

  Does http://66.150.49.152/ work for you? if not, you can add something like
  
  66.150.49.152 www.ilovemyworkplacefilter.com
  
  to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
  
  (open it with notepad)
  
  and maybe connect to http://www.ilovemyworkplacefilter.com
  
  And finally, if that doesn't work, SSH tunnels. You'll need a real OS tho at home ... (linux, mac, bsd)
  
  Of course, once you do have that (old pentium with 32mb ram will work for it if needed), you could just set up a local proxy (squid) at home and tunel your traffic thru it (instead of sending the whole desktop to display) over a SSH tunnel.

  Does your office system have a filter on it that looks for the word "GUN?" If so, then try logging on to www.forthehunt.com
  
  PS: Sorry you missed the gun show.

  MS Terminal Server is builtin and works great - use that. Most of those programs are about the same performance however since they all pretty much do the same thing.
  
  start/programs/accessories/communications/remote desktop connection
  
  right-click on "my computer"/properties/remote to enable it on the receiving end.
  
  You may also have to change the port since most companies block this at the firewall. Change it to port 80, that's always open. You'll need to use port forwarding on your home firewall/router to do that.
