You'll first need to add all pc's manaully through to site before you can connect to them. And while log me in is great, the problem is that with other programs users need to give permission before you can go in. Gives the user the security of that we need permission to go in. I was wondering why nobody would mention Teamviewer. Basicly same as VNC, but even easier :) The problem with logmein is that you cannot send an exe.

Unfortunately, there's no updated download of pchelpware, so you have to do the patching as a separate step. Step 1.5: Download the pchelpware patch and apply it.

Also, use SSH protocol 2, not 1.. @Martyd: If you have issues with the insecurities of VNc connections, just install ssh server onto the machines, that way when you need to actually do anything with VNC, you can tunnel the VNC connection through SSH. and for added security, you could use a custom SSH port, like I do.

I was never very happy with the insecurity of VNC connections anyway. Thanks for the instructions, at least they worked Even for the small price, I think I will stick with GoToAssist to provide support to my clients

Much simpler to setup and less involved. I was never very happy with the insecurity of VNC connections anyway.

Thanks for the instructions, at least they worked
