Hi all, didn't really found sth. that explains this way on managing your computer remote using search form, so i will tell you another way to get easy, fast graphical remote access, like VNC:
The solution is called LogMeIn - Website of the company is: http://www.logmein.com
Price: FREE (using LogMeIn FREE)
Higher, paid packages are not needed, cause the free package offers everything VNC can offer, too.
1. Just go on their Website and register yourself.
2. Log into your Account while being on the machine u want to have access later
3. Under the tab "My Computers", click on "+ Add Computer"
4. Download and install the LogMeIn Software (u will have a icon next to your windows clock after install)
5. Insert your account data into the installed Application, so it can register your comp with your account
6. Now you can see your comp on their Website under Tab "My Computers"
7. Now try it. Go to another machine and log into your LogMeIn account and click on your Computer. (u don't need the IP adress!)
8. Now u have to install the Firefox AddOn to get the graphical view later.
9. Now u need to type in your Windows Username and Password to log into your comp
10. Now a new Page will come up. Check Settings (like if u are using a proxy) and then click on Remote Control. Tada! U now have an webbased full remote window of your comp (in realtime!)
In the Settings u can choose between many different Remote methods (Plain HTML, Java App, ActiveX/Mozilla (best, like VNC!)).
The best of it. It's using SSL (Port 443). So it's easy to use even if you are behind a proxy and firewall, cause port 443 should be always open if u have internet access, whereever you are.
I use it to always check the status of my bot during work. ^^
Have Fun. Hope this will help some ppl, who are looking for ways to remote their desktop, easy, fast and secure (SSL).
