[TUT]How to control another computer FREE![/TUT]

Ok you know that most remote control compy things usually cost money, and usually pains when it comes to firewalls.
But here is a GREAT way to control another computer for back up purposes, to help fix another computer, or just for fun.

To get started, go to http://www.logmein.com, and make an account.


Now select the free option. (Though you can select the trial if you really need to back up a computer.) Now complete the registration.


Now once you have registered, and verified your account log on, and select "add computer"
Note: We are adding our own computers right now so we can control our computers from another place. If you want to control another computer from your computer simply log onto that computer, and do the below steps.


Now select the "free" option. (Unless you are doing backups of course)


Once you have downloaded the program let's install it!

When you get these options pick typical.


Now name your compy. (So you can identify it on the computer list)


If your computer has a user name, and password you may skip this part as it won't appear in your installation.

Now to enter in a password. (Anything easy to remember)


Now select the computer you wish to control ^_^ (Of course you are not going to control your computer from your computer i'm just going to give an example.)


Now all you have to do is enter in the code that you made in the installation then WALA! You are controlling that computer.
Note: When connecting to a computer that has a user and pass simply type in the administrative user, and pass to connect.


Also if you want to connect to your computer from another computer you don't need to install that program onto that computer, you just simply connect which means you can connect to your computer from school or work.


Ok if you have any question please post here.

Even better.

Easier to setup.

 

nice guide its sweet

 

Do you have to worry about firewalls and of the such?
Also this is better for school, or work.

 

Is it really?

Let's see....

With RealVNC I can:

-Set it up so that I can connect anywhere through it's java-web interface.
-Just use port-forwarding.
-You can drag and drop files between computer.
-If I'm playing a song at home I can hear it through the computer I'm on.

etc, etc, etc

 

Oh I see.
Maybe I shouldn't judge a program before I have used it.
But I have made a guide on how to use this, and I want feedback not which program is better.

 

Just posting my opinions ^_^

 

i heard that using real vnc its possible to control someones comp by just getting them to download a program that you programmed to let you control.

 

is there a way to control a computer if you already have their ip?

 

I might go with shins program, but the guide itself is excellent.
