No escape from lugging a laptop

I tried to find a way to work without a laptop computer. It's taken me two years to admit that it doesn't work.

How do I remotely access my PC?

I've just set up a file server on my home network, which is essentially just a lone computer plugged directly into my wireless router and connecting at 100Mbps. I use VNC to maintain it from other wireless-enabled PCs (802.11g) on my network but find it's a tad sluggish.

Is it sluggish because I'm connecting via a wireless connection? Or is there software that is quicker than VNC? Preferably one that's free... I'm a poor student!
