software for multiple pc's in multiple locations?

bigfred · 3 Apr 2008 at 20:52

i'm after some advice on what software to use... i want to get access to my parents and my sisters pc's, from my place.... is it possible to control the pc at their own address from mine? like you can on a local network?

so if they have having issues with their system then i can log on (obviously with their permission) and try to help them..

does "pc anywhere" do this and is it any good... or can you suggest something different..

thanks for any replies in advance...

I use Radmin for precisely that.

Hamachi seems like a very good VNC/VPN client. I plan on setting this up on my computers/laptops this weekend.

I use LogMeIn on my local network but a friend also uses it via the t'interweb.

Logmein is superb.

gone for the radmin approach... look nice and easy to use.. might as well give it a shot...unless someone can convince me otherwise.

To be honest they are all much of a muchness you wont go wrong with any of them to be fair.
