Screen-sharing software

[jmt356]

Is anyone aware of any free or cheap software that allows me to view what is on the screen of another computer if we are NOT on the same network (e.g, the other user is located thousands of miles away with another internet service provider)? Being able to control the other persons computer using my keyboard and mouse would be a plus, but would not be necessary.

Someone referred me to join.me which seems really straight-forward; just type 'join.me' in the address bar. You can then receive a code number, which just repeat, or email, to the other person, so that they can join you.
