Free Remote Desktop Software ?

[Tuvoc]

I've always had XP Professional and Vista Business, so have always been able to remote into all my machines on the network. Now I have Windows 7 Home Premium, and of course you cannot use Windows remote desktop to remote into that. Any recommendations for free software to do that across my internal network ? Will RealVNC do the job ?

This is what I use, its very good, and best of all its Free, well for home use that is.

Had the same problem but if you download remote desktop for XP from the microsoft website and install that,you will be able to use remote desktop on home premium.

Looks like it is more geared to access over the internet, and actually that may be handy, but presumably does both

Yes. Just give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Windows XP Remote Desktop Connection software Just like teamviewer I use Logmein for web based remote connection.

I will, I can't for the life of me connect with RealVNC, despite having disabled the windows firewall etc

Just discovered there is a hack to enable RDP server on Windows 7 Home Premium, and there was one for Vista as well
