Hello,
I want to make one of my computers available to a friend who lives in Poland to assist him in his efforts in building a Linux distro he develops. He does not always have access to a 64bit system and I am not in a great finacial situation to be able to give him a system so I thought he might be able to remotely log into one of my Linux boxes and use it remotely to assist with his development efforts. How can I configure my network/router so that this is the only computer that is accessable to him? So far I do not have everything configured in a formal network, they are just a few computers (some running Windows 7 and some Linux) a smart tv as well as a PS3 plugged in to my FIOS router to gain access to the internet. Is there a way to easily do this? Do any of you know of any tutorials on line that may explain how to accomplish this?
Thanks for your assistance
Robert,
