| 713667 | 2008-10-21 19:35:00 | Hi, I would like to be able to access my pc at home from elsewhere via the internet. I'd prefer if i could control what i see on the screen already but i do not mind a terminal services type setup. How is the best way to go about this and what software would you recommend ? I have an ordinary adsl connection so i would assume i may have to setup some sort of port forwarding ? I'm running WinXP Pro |

| 713670 | 2008-10-21 20:04:00 | I recently tried TeamViewer (www.teamviewer.com) and it works pretty well too:) | Blam (54) | ||
| 713671 | 2008-10-21 20:04:00 | Only thing with Crossloop, is it uses a code. So, unless there is someone else, at the other end to accept the code / allow the remote login. You wont get in |

| 713672 | 2008-10-21 20:27:00 | Second Team Viewer - you can set it to run and password protect it,have it on both PC's at your end you open the program, enter in the code and the password you select Example (www.imagef1.net.nz) - when it connects you enter the password and theres the desktop. Some remote programs require a person to be at the receiving end to open, Team Viewer doesn't.(can be set that way) Edited: it says free for non commercial use - the "kick over" point that says it commercial is 6 PC's - I had that problem - but wrote to teamviewer and they removed the warning message. Great people to deal with. |
