Using PC Anywhere over NTL

Hello,
My friend and myself both use NTL broadband (600k) connection. I have obtained a copy of PC Anywhere and would like to set this up so that I can help him Administer his PC from my home.
I have installed the software on both PC's and have the IP address of both PC's (presume these are static with NTL?)
I just wondered if anyone could help me configure this or has done a similar thing in the past and could offer me some advise.
I have had a look through the help files but this has not been too great.
Also does anyone know of any security issues I should be aware of and wether NTL allow you to do this kind of thing.

After you install the SW on both machines, you need to create a new host connection on your friends PC so you can connect to it. It is possible to create a user & password for the dial in user (set this up on the host pc)
Women and PC's are very similar… I’ve been ‘dabbling’ for years and I still don’t understand them..
