JedClampett Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) I need to connect to my friends Windows PC over the internet, to provide RA for them. I will be using a laptop runing Vista Home Premium 32 bit trying to connect to a PC running Windows XP 32 bit Home Edition.I see in this post that Windows default programs are 'painfully slow'.Are there any other programs you can recommend to make this work faster please?I've done Linux <--> Linux RFB connections using Centos laptop to main PC, but not tried this out on Windows yet.Would using SSH -X be any quicker to run a specific application remotely, rather than updating the whole desktop?TIAJed Edited November 4, 2011 by JedClampett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felipe Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I find Teamviewer easy and painless for this type of thing. It's free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I never tried Join.me, but I'll second Felipe with TeamViewer. Free for non professional use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JedClampett Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks for those replies friends.I will check those programs out ASAP and post my findings later!Edit:Thanks again. Gone for TeamWeaver! That's fine and it works well. I like the way it seems to negotiate firewalls (not that that is relevant on my LAN). I tested it on my LAN using my Vista laptop, talking to another laptop running XP.I was amazed at how easy it is to connect! Still learning how to use it properly. Shame about the price tag though, even for only one user Jed Edited November 8, 2011 by JedClampett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
