| 773869 | 2009-05-15 00:57:00 | i just looked at the price, and then fell off my chair!:lol: You dont need to pay for the full version - if you download the full install not the QS you can still use it free. At it says "TeamViewer is free for private use" I use the free version - apart from the pop up message at the end theres no difference. Unless they have changed it the cut off to get "stronger Warnings" is if you are connecting remotely to more than 5 PC's. ( not on a LAN) I do the Odd connection to clients - I emailed team viewer basically saying I my do a connection once or twice a month, and only for a few minutes and dont charge the people - I was not going to pay the price for that amount of usage as there is other products that are free and do the same thing. They did something at their end and replied - I'll get no more warnings. :thumbs: Which I dont. Even at the price they charge - If you were doing remote support all the time every day, and charging the people as a service call / contract - it wouldn't take long to recoup the costs considering its a life time Unlimited license. |

| 773873 | 2009-05-15 11:52:00 | ok i got no idea, the computer has been asigned a static IP address and the corect port is fwded in the router(and has been tested at whatsmyip.com/ports) windows 7 is set to accept connections and the firewall is to allow RDC connections. and still the same thing, works on the local network (if i type 10.1.1.99) but try and connect from outside the network and you get this error "The client cannot connect to the remote computer" "Remote connections may not be enabled etc etc etc....." but they are becuase you can connect from within the LAN and the ports are fwded... Anyone have any suggestions left? :dogeye: wainuitech: Can you elaborate on this bit - "Terminal Services user right accessible via Group Policy. ----make sure Are you a member of the Remote Users Group " oh and if it helps ive got one of those telecom issue D-Link 504T modem/routers and it used to let me connect to the machine when it ran XP cheers kieran |

Been doing so research - seems a lot of that regarding terminal services is also to do with server 2008 - which I know does have the functions, but currently the PC I was using that had the trial on is Out of action - some bugger swiped the Mother board for another PC :rolleyes: . Been looking quickly through W7 and theres not a lot to change . BUT did find something that may be the cause of the "Not connecting" Could be worth having a "Play" click start type in services In the results look for the Services with a Gear next to it - open it- scroll down and have a "fiddle" with the remote connections, As shown Here ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/Remote . PNG" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) - if you look most are turned off, and need manual connection - could be the problem . This is why I use a program like Team Viewer - call it lazy, but sometimes trying to set up remote desktop to clients can be a pain in the arse -- TV makes it easy . One other thing, may be worth trying as well, on my Windows Home Server - you have to port forward port 443 - without that you get nowhere . I did also read someone tried that with Vista and it worked . :confused: |
