Does anyone have experience of using LogMeIn, or know of any similar (free) products for controlling remote computers?  I came across it in the October PC Mag roundup of free software, and it seems really good to me.  But I wonder about security.  I'm sure I can configure firewalls etc. to work with it, but tonight I had to turn off Kerio on the remote machine in order to access it.  Anybody tried it?

mouser:
Don't know LogMeIn.
i've used Remote Administrator and RemotelyAnywhere in the past and been quite happy with both (both commercial).

a lot of people seem quite happy with some open source VNC software.. i'll let them post about that.

Hi,
I use free UltraVNC to provide remote assistance to my friends:
http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/
It has good features and good performance.

Since the UVNC server (450k) can directly connect to the viewer (set to listen mode) on my pc I do not run into problems with their  firewalls/routers restricting inbound connections (and that would require port forwarding otherwise).

mouser:
that was the one i was having trouble remembering the name of.
lot's of people seem happy with UltraVNC.

Carol Haynes:
I love the spelling mistake on the first page ...

UltraVNC is an easy to use, fast and free sotware

Anyone fancy a drink ?  :beerchug:
