Controlling another pc remotely?

[(>Zero Cool<)]

PCAnywhere can be used over the internet, no trouble. PCAnywhere is great.

What OS does your mate have? XP Professional has an in-built remote desktop facility...

the answer is various. It would be handy if I could use this on different folks' pcs. Although in the most part xp. @Skizo pointed me in the direction of the inbuilt above. I think PC anywhere might be the way to go as I have sorta used it before. Thanks for the help.

@boab . thanks mate, but what are you doing in here

I always just use Netmeeting. it works much faster and less annoyingly than remote assistance.
and there's nothing to install.

just go start>run>type 'conf' and it will ask for name and email and stuff (the first time only), then you put in the IP of the computer to connect with and voila it's connected (if they had netmeeting open and click accept).

@vampiro and @rossco thanks just noticed your posts when I looked up from my keyboard.

I use Remote administrator 2.1. very small and works nicely

Yeah, Remote Assistance is okay but it lags down your system pretty bad.
