Remote Accessing Your Computer

Darren · 03-05-2008, 08:36 AM

Forgot a file at home when at work/school? or to transfer your files for ZUNE?

MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALWAYS ADMINISTRATOR

1. Use the computer that you want to access
2. Go To https://secure.logmein.com/createaccount.asp
3. Click on either LogMeIn Free or LogMeIn Pro (payment)
4. Enter your information
5. Click Create Account
6. Click on Add Computer

7. When the box opens, click YES, NEXT or RUN
8. Go through the installation wizard
9. When complete, make sure it is enable and running

10. Go back and log in to your account, and click on your computer name to access
11. Type in your Username and Password
12. Click on Remote Control

Enjoy! Any problems or questions, either post or PM me

Isn't this the samething as remote assistance or remote desktop preinstalled on windows xp pro and windows vista except the two programs preinstalled in the OS are easier to use and more reliable. Also, the two programs does not need to be used in administrator account. If you're experienced, you can turn on your computer remotely and use it on demand.

sounds quite interesting, might try it out sometime

This is alot easier than setting up remote desktop. This is different than remote assistance, you don't need to be at the computer to accept.

I probably used the remote desktop too many times. Maybe that's why i found it to be so easy.

Very nice tutorial.

I use LogMeIn all the time because its convenient, theres no need to hassle with open ports, or IP addresses or DNS updates. I leave my computer on all the time, so if I need to access it, I just use LogMeIn. I also use it to troubleshoot my friend's computer problems and for remotely shutting down or stopping downloads.

Im sort of a Microsoft Fanboy :P
