Re: Remote desktop programs.
I'm a TeamViewer fan myself. I'm able to use it to control machines remotely, I can VPN in to run proxy server software, and my computers work. And I'm able to talk my grandmother through using it, so it's easy...
Re: Remote desktop programs.
To reiterate I use UltraVNC. Dynamic IP addressing is not a concern of mine since all my systems are on my local network. I have used TEamViewer but it was a hassle to use as it kept timing out while I was servicing my sister's Toshiba Laptop.
For the sake of completeness since I mentioned the free DynDns service, I will go through the process of creating an account with them and test it. I will report the results in a day or two.

I use Teamviewer to take care of my kids computers since it is easier then trying to explain how to fix a problem. Take over there confuser and fix it myself.

Same here. Ultravnc and fixed IPs.
Re: Remote desktop programs.
I wrote an article for one of the last Team Newsletters. From work I use Putty to connect to my Linux computers by ssh.
Besides that, "Select Computer" from the boinc manager of a working GUI.

LogMeIn (www.logmein.com)
Web based. No conflict with GPOU crunching. Free version supports multiple PCs so unless you need remote file copy, the free version is all you need.
Re: Remote desktop programs.
I've been using RealVNC. I don't have any problems with it but it does take a little router port configuration if you want to go WAN with it, otherwise it's not been a problem.
Works well for me.
Re: Remote desktop programs.
While looking for Remote Desktop software, I found that Windows 7 has something called Remote Desktop Connection. Is this safe to use over the internet? Are there better solutions such as those mentioned in this thread? It's either remote control or turn the boxes off for a couple of weeks.
Re: Remote desktop programs.
I don't know about the one in Win 7 but with Team Viewer you don't have to install it. There is a run option that you can use and it then gives you the option of running it or installing. You will then be given you IP and a code that you have to give to whoever you are connecting to, I like this program just for theose reasons. Very easy to use as well and it gives you the option to upload or download item if you want to or need to.
