| 114167 | 2003-01-15 21:14:00 | Just curious as to who has used Remote Administration software, what it was, how they found it, where/when they used it, and perhaps what for too... Ive seen Remote Administrator (rAdmin.com) and TridiaVNC... Never used PcAnywhere though... What about these new web-based ones or whatever they're advertising at Geocities? Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 114168 | 2003-01-15 21:20:00 | Hey I'ved used winVNC which isn't that bad - some of the settings can be a bit confusing if you don't know what they are/what they do. It's worked pretty well over a busy network, and over a P2P network, however it doesn't have file transfer, remote shutdown, or send command, etc that rAdmin does - however, if your willing to go Start > Shutdown > Okay on all the computers then it's not too bad :p rAdmin - used over a P2P network was excellent! - it's a great program! - and I really liked it - all the extra features it gives you like remote shutdown, telnet to the computers DOS command, send command, and file transfer - it was great! I looked at tightVNC which is just a more secure version of winVNC and didn't really notice much difference between the two programs, so I didn't download and try it. CyberChuck |

| 114169 | 2003-01-15 21:30:00 | Radmin 2.1 on my lan & it is excellent, I tried a few before I settled on Radmin. XP's Remote Assistance between my XP machine & my fathers, on several occasions & it has worked pretty well considering both are 56K connections |

| 114170 | 2003-01-15 21:36:00 | I've used Laplink Gold 9, PC Anywhere 10 and Remote Assistance that comes with WinXP. Laplink Gold 9 I used to use to control an old P133 pc which had a DVD drive and Encore mpeg decoder attached to my TV before I got a DVD player. Worked OK but you'd need v10 for WinXP PC Anywhere I currently use to controld the other PCs on my home network. This way I can look after my daughters PC while she is asleep. I work very well is is very quick. Remote Assistance on WinXP I've used to help friends and family arounf the world over the internet and it works very well. It's handy because it can be launched in Messenger when a problem crops up. |

| 114172 | 2003-01-16 00:49:00 | You can't beat OpenSSH but I guess you're looking for windows software. :D Apparently TinyVNC is good for slower connections. | segfault (655) | ||
| 114173 | 2003-01-16 01:22:00 | RAdmin is my favourite by a long shot, use it to manage all the pcs at home, although you can't beat VNC for price and compatibility. I've also used pcAnywhere and Remotely Possible - they're okay, but I won't use or recommend Norton products on a matter of principle now. | antmannz (28) | ||
| 114174 | 2003-01-16 01:25:00 | > I won't use or recommend Norton products on a matter > of principle now. Why's that? Ive never seen/used PC Anywhere, so I couldnt compare Radmin and PC Anywhere?! |

| 114175 | 2003-01-16 01:42:00 | Long story - boils down to Norton not wanting to replace a CD and telling my client to go and buy a new retail copy. My client was happy to pay postage and replacement CD costs (up to about $25), and has a valid licence key, etc; but it was still no go. If a software maker states that you're purchasing only the licence to use the copy and not own it, then you shouldn't have to re-pay full retail for the same version. Makes my blood boil when they want to have it both ways. |

| 114176 | 2003-01-16 01:47:00 | Fair enough... Anybody feel like doing a small feature comparison of some of them?? |
