I use SBC DSL. SBC uses 2wire program for its home portal network. Now some time ago, I physically brought my friend's computer over to my apartment and plugged it into my 2wire modem. Now when I go to the network status page I see my computer listed and my friend's computer on my home network. His computer is now at another physical location. My question is:Is it possible from my friend's computer at its remote location to access mine?

No, its not possible for your friend's computer to access yours. Unless of course your friend planned on accessing yours before you hooked them together, and he/she was a mastermind hacker.

Does cronxeh know about this or crytography?
