Hi all,

I know that the above website allows you to connect to your other PC as though you were sitting in front of it. However, I know this can be done for free and can be set up yourself but my brain is tired and I can't for the life of me remember what the process is called!

Can anyone remind me?

Logmein

You're probably thinking of RDP (remote desktop) or VNC.

I use LogMeIn for work. Choose the Free version and have fun

I don't want to leave my PC on to access it. Can I wake my PC via my iPhone or another computer?

I believe if you have Wake on Lan enabled you can ping it into life with LogMeIn, but it is not something I have looked into, tbh.

I think your right if not ssh into your router and do a WOL ping ?

Can you not just use remote desktop?

VNC, that was it! thanks

I'm going to check out the other options as well
