Abstract
A system is provided for accessing and/or controlling at least one first computer connected to a local computer network (target computer) from at least one remote computer (being remote from the local computer network), that includes: a server computer operable to act as an intermediary between the target computer and the remote computer; and at least one proxy computer linked to the server computer and the target computer that is send digital signal(s) to the target computer as a proxy computer. The server computer is responsive to a remote computer request and then sends a communication directing the proxy computer to send the digital signal(s) to the target computer. The target computer receives the digital signal(s) from the proxy computer and thereby achieves a state in which the target computer is operable to act on the digital signal.
