I want to be able to use my brothers' computer he has at his house from my computer at my house.
I know it can be done but how??

I have tried to help him via 'screen sharing' on Skype but my patience with this method is wearing thin :D

Appreciate your help.

+1 for Teamviewer and LogMeIn.

I use LogMeIn for my personal clients from home, and we're starting to use TeamViewer at work.

I have used CrossLoop to get started... requires the user at the far end to install and then give some access parameters over the phone.

Then I install and setup Logmein for unattended access at the far end.

Might look into Teamviewer.

Cheers
