if you leave your comp on the ip stays in the window of the vnc viewer...

then it asks for a pass and your in...

been looking at transfering files from on to another, i dont think it does this,,

hope i am wrong tho..

Edit: the other software i am looking at is Laplink here

i dont think it does but if your on a network you dont need it to transfer files just use the network settings

BTW will vnc work from another computer that is not on the network ie from someone elses house or abroad ?

Remote control software such as VNC has a variety of uses. It allows a person at a remote computer to assume control of another computer across a network, as if they were sitting in front of the other computer.

For the individual user, one common scenario is using VNC to help troubleshoot the computer of a distant less-technically-savvy relative. In other words, sitting at your desk in Baltimore, you could use VNC to take control of your mother's PC in London and show her how to install and use some new software package by actually doing it yourself.
