| 189351 | 2003-11-05 05:57:00 | We have a weather station which sits outside and transmit via radio to compu,which allows us to read the weather in real time,it stores info so that we can see what direction things are going.we have a program that when temp gets to 1.5 it rings manager,who then rings choppers and bobs your uncle. Now what I would like to do is monitor the info from away from the station,which would be easy enough if we had 2 phone lines and I was wondering if we had XP on both compus,could we use the remote assistance facilty to see what is on the compu that is at weather station. I hope I have made myself clear,if I have it will be a first;) |

I think that it can be done :), but you have to have Win XP pro on both computers for remote assistance to work or you could use VNC - http://www.realvnc.com (it does all most same thing as remote assistance), have a look and see if it help Hope this helps |

| 189353 | 2003-11-05 08:13:00 | Thanks Stu,will look into that. | Thomas (1820) | ||
| 189354 | 2003-11-05 10:07:00 | you could try winvnc (freeware) that enables remote control not sure if it work over the internet through, I think xps remote assitance requires a invitation to be sent from the pc requiring assistance to the helper, which has a token which is only valid for a set period of time check your help files or google this one. good luck |

| 189355 | 2003-11-05 10:35:00 | yep, winvnc / realvnc (same thing) will do what you want. Start the 'server' on the machine you want to access (the kids PC has this in the startup group), and on the machine you want to use to view, use the IP address of the server machine (if you hover the cursor over the vnc icon in the systray it will show your IP addy). If you are on a LAN you can just type in the computer name to access it. Once it starts you have the server machine's desktop available to you and can use it as if you were literally in front of the machine. J :D |

| 189358 | 2003-11-05 17:53:00 | you dont need xp pro ............remote assist works fine with xp home I've done it............. if you dont have xp try something called........VNC.......'virtual network computing' it's virtually the same as remote assist in that it allows one computer to control another ......you can see the remote desktop on your screen etc and control it as if you were sitting there........it's also free.....there are 'paid' versions of similar progs too... |
