Thanks for reply
I have now done a little more homework and found some of the problems.
I had not realised that it was restricted to local network only without changes to router.
1 setting up router port forwarding - with consequent security issues. I cannot get him to change password regularly (at 96 he is using webmail email, Skype, some on line games, and Internet banking, but password management is proving an issue). So not a practical solution.
2 Setting up VPN access

however the necessary changes will be beyond him or his helper.
I am sure that in earlier versions of Windows I had done it without such added complications?
Have you got any suggestions for alternative remote access options software/services?
