I am running vista home premium on my weather pc and remote desktop doesn’t work to remote in from the internet, I do have it working on my network behind my router…what are you all using to remote in if you can’t use microsoft remote desktop…I can’t install anything on my work pc which is where I would like to gain access from…don’t have the knowledge or admin rights to set up a vpn from work to WX PC…I am thinking along the lines of pc anywhere or something similar…would like to find a free program, but don’t mind paying for the software without having to pay a monthly fee to use it…any tips…
What about using PCanywhere? i got it, but have never used it though, so i cant say how it works. But ive heard from other people that it works allright.
:lol: you’re just following me all over this board…I have no personal experience with pc anywhere…was more so just using that as an example…if it fits the bill I’m not opposed to using it, which is why I asked here…really didn’t know where to post the question…but am open to any suggestions…I will look into pc anywhere…Thanks
UltraVNC, and some other flavors of VNC, can be used with just a browser as a client so no installed client is needed. But, if your router is not set up to allow RD, then VNC isn’t going to work either.
Wess, check out logmein.com. I run it from work but you have to be able to allow an active-x program to run. Shoot me a PM tomorrow. I have to be a work at 4am. Hitting the rack now.
If your work PC can “legally” run one of the third party services like logmein or pcanywhere then those are probably your simplest option. Sounds like you could make VNC work to with the browser client too, but that would be more hassle on your weather PC and home network.
I’ve been using Windows Live Mesh. Just have it running
on my computers and log-in using live.com account.
Remtotely use or control from home or work or visa versa.
WOW…never heard of it before…got it running on the WX PC and got in from my laptop…looks like a pretty good tool, will have to see if I can get all that active X stuff to install on my work PC…didn’t do a lot of ressearch on it, more like just threw it in and turned it on… :lol:…and it’s free…I can only hope it’s going to stay free…Thanks for the heads up to what looks like a nice addition.
I have gotten into my WX pc from several other computers using it…BUT…tried it from here at work, and no surprise, it wont work. They told me they have all of rdp services blocked for security…I guess it’s back to “logmein” on this machine, but live mesh on any other…it definately looks promising…
