Re: [slim] Recommendation for Free Remote Desktop
Quality remote support services can never be free though. However, you can try using gosupportnow remote access service. It is easy to use and costs only $19.95 / month. mikeadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73700 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Recommendation for Free Remote Desktop

Re: [slim] Recommendation for Free Remote Desktop
Hi there RDP will be fine on the old XP computer note however it must be XP PRO. XP HOME doen't have RDP as a Server but only as a Client -- although if you look around the web there are some work arounds for XP HOME. I don't recommend logmein -- as you are then dependent on yet another outside system for access to your machines - and some workplaces are now stoppling access to these types of services as it bypasses their Internet Content and security policies. RDP Server part doesn't work for VISTA or Windows 7 Home Premium editions.

[slim] Recommendation for Free Remote Desktop
Hi My main computer is running Vista Home Premium, and I'm considering using an old XP computer as an independent Squeezebox server tucked out of the way. I'll want to administer this from the main PC. Please recommend a free remote desktop application that I can use.

carp;504122 Wrote: Are both computers on the same network (i.e. your LAN at home)? Then LogmeIn and Teamviewer both seem oversized to me as their main purpose is to remote administer computers over the internet. VNC will certainly do the job very well, but LogMeIn is a bit more straightforward to set up and work with if you're not that techy, IMHO. Also, the ability to log in over the internet can come in very handy if you ever receive a phone call from home saying the bl***y Squeezebox isn't working whilst at work ;-) -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)? -Siduhe Loved Tracks radio got the thumbs up.

That's what the other computer is running so it looks like a 3rd party solution will be required. Oh, and yes both computers will be on the same wired home network.LogMeIn works well and has the added advantage of allowing you to control the machine from pretty much anywhere in the world.
