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.
