LogMeIn + VNC. Works wonders.

MS RDP and RemotelyAnywhere (Which is a more advanced application from LogMeIn but doesn't utilise LogMeIn's servers so still requires port forwarding etc.)

I used LogMeIn and it works great when I'm using it. BUT I only need it on occasional out-of-state business trips which is about 5-6 times a year. I wish they had weekly or daily useage fees. Hell I actually wish it was free. Tried other home-brews but LogMeIn is the easiest and most portable.

Learn to Teamviewer it sets it up and the ID is binded to your computer so if you reformat is only when it changes. It also comes with a partner list so you can add your computers to it and log into it anywhere at anytime.

At home I use Remote Desktop, when I'm away I use LogMeIn Free or Pro, depending which computer I'm accessing.

And i also use LogMeIn Rescue to support my customers.
