Freeware: Logmein


EXAMPLE how I connected my PC to itself as a dummy remote connection.
You can see windows within each .

https://secure.logmein.com/
Control your PC from anywhere is too tempting. I did a demo version for 30 days and it also includes one free account where you can log in to multiple computers defined as free connection except that you dont get any additional features. Still worth its money as freeware.

Being from India, I appreciate this when I comapre to webex. Teamplayer is another software which I have used to relay desktops across remotes. I believe Logmein is superfast and it works client to client unlike webex where it is client-> server -> client . Logmein alos uses a anaonymous id with a server authentication certicate. The Print functionality of windows is used by Logmein from its basic look.

I being a consultant hardly care. However I also had a problem with windows registry lock with logmein. So please double check if any software is installed if your have a registry lock. This I will cover in another Blog where I will focus on problems on registry lock in my workplace.

All in all, Logmein scores 8 out of 10. Very good for independent consultants, IT service providers
