Remote Desktop

I've been impressed with logmein. I'm not sure just how secure it is though. Its very easy to set up and works well on my Mogul and from my work computer.

I have not tried logmein from my phone but have used it on several computers. It works very well for me being able to troubleshoot other peoples computers with out having to be there since it is a very small file they have to download and in most cases they dont even need to download it they can run it from the website. For my network at home i have also used hamachi with ultravnc which has seemed to be pretty secure, once again dont know if that would work on the phone or not guess i will need to try it as soon as i get my new phone.

if using logmein, what would I need on my phone to be able to access my home computer from it?

I have a mogul.

Not sure if I would actually do this as of yet, but would like to know.

I usually use Windows Remote desktop to work on client computers remotely.

If you go to www.logmein.com from your phone and login, it will prompt you to download the software needed to remotely access and control your desktop PCs. Very simple to use and a small one time download.

Does anybody know if there is there a tight VNC for a windows mobile 6 device?

hey guys i just checked out this logmein program and its freaking awesome...just what i was looking for...i mean i dont have anything important on my computer and it has deep freeze so i doubt anyone could do anything. but it works easy i didnt even have to set anything up. just run the setup and it does it by itself

my problem with logmein is that after i log out, i cannot log in again and i have to reboot the pc i am logging into
i have not been able to figure out what is causing this since i seem to be the only one with this problem.

My boyfriend is a network admin and he is a freak for tight vnc so I will have him look at them for me. I guess everyone has their preferences, we are both techies as well but he is way way above me! He drives me nuts
