Software to control another PC

Conrad11 · 22 Oct 2006 at 21:55

Hi there,

I want to connect to another PC on the network and control it with full rights.

What i would like is a really light program to do this.

Hopefully free but its not important.

Thanks.

TightVNC, or Real VNC, or if its a win xp pro machine use terminal services (remote desktop)

Radmin

vnc if if its xp home/other if its xp pro then remote desktop is better as you dont have to install anything on both sides.

Yup yup, agreed with the use remote desktop if you have XP Pro (I think its not there on home? Well, you can connect to home but only if you have XP Pro). If its linux then install the tight VNC server and on windows use RealVNC or TightVNC client.

www.logmein.com is free, secure and allows you to control as many machines as your want from anywhere with an internet connection.

I've been using this since I noticed this thread.
It's pretty good!

No one mentions UltraVNC?

Any differences between TightVNC, Real VNC and UltraVNC?
