zeddydotorg Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I think there are web based clients for vnc, have a look here http://www.realvnc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3h Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I think there are web based clients for vnc, have a look here http://www.realvnc.com/ Yeah, that's correct. Simply install RealVNC or TightVNC Server. You will then be able to access your computer through the internet at http://your.ip.address:5800 or through ther VNC viewer itself by simply entering your ip address. If you are behind a router/firewall, be sure to open/forward the correct ports otherwise, just remote connections on your LAN will work. hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanawar Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 There is also MyIVO...check it out at http://www.myivo.com/en/index.php MyIVO also traverses firewalls and NATs and you don't have to worry about port forwarding and stuff. Simply install it and off you go. As a bonus, it offers file sharing free of cost too. Performance wise, Logmein is better and the interface is more streamlined. I don't believe there is any better alternative to Logmein but MyIVO may soon catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 5 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well I think that VNC works pretty good. It is a little laggy compared to Remote Desktop Connection but I think VNC offers more features. Check out this forum thread for more info on setting up VNC. VNC should be able to do what you want although it may be slightly laggy. But it is free so.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halluc1nati0n Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Zolved (www.zolved.com) and skyfex (http://skyfex.com/) are free and damn easy.. No need to install complex VNC clients!!! EDIT: I do realise that I bumped an old old thread.. but isn't Neowin considered a repository of information?? :p EDIT 2: MyIVO also looks good! ;) Edited April 11, 2008 by halluc1nati0n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR007 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 holy crap ! that was an old thread haha.May I suggest TeamViewer. I use it all the time. Regarding TeamViewer, the only thing I don't like is the fact that you cannot have it to automatically startup if you reboot your system. I am talking from the perspective of Mac and not PC. Am I missing something here? Also, does anyway know if the ID changes? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simsie Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 ID seems to be affected by your IP address, so if you're a static IP then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is change the password, to something that you want. Then it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKuro Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 also as convenient as web browser based alternatives may be to some people, i still prefer the simple and faster remote desktop that comes built into windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
