How do you remote control another computer?

Featured Replies

2 computers that are not on the same network. just over the internet?

Download a program that can remote control another computer, such as Remote Administrator. There are many others if you don't like the way this one works, but this is my favorite. Just get the other computer, or the other person, to install it and it should work perfectly.

For Windows XP to Windows XP... Remote assistance.

 

 

 

For any other OS, A VNC client like Bmms suggested.

To be honest , I would consider that a pro , not a con . Leaving an open gateway to a system full time is not a great idea, password protected or not.

Sometimes it is necessary though, for example when I left one machine at home and wanted to control it from uni.

Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

i must have problems with firewall or something, b/c non of these programs work.

if the system you are trying to control has an active firewall running , you will need to make sure that the application is granted "server access" to the internet , this will allow incoming connections .

This is what I use, and it works very well :) I had to fiddle around with my router to open a port so that I could get to my computer, but it works :D
