[QUOTE=marc4darkskies;1254708]Radmin. Always works, no internet connection required. Costs $US49. Been using it for years without any issues.

Thanks Marcus. I remember now you telling me that before. Good to know there is a good alternative to Team Viewer. Team Viewer did not make a good first impression. The website does not really even tell you what the product is.

I'm probably the farthest from being a Windows fanboy, but it works well and is built-in.

Thanks. That is what I got up and running yesterday and it seems to do what Marcus mentions about Radmin. The proof will be in its use which will be in a day or two.

Thanks Paul. Yes I found having to basically hand over control of your computer to a site on the net a bit disconcerting. Hacks was the immediate thought I had.


I'll see how Remote Desktop works out and post the results here. The price is good - free.
