Remote Administration

[Juice Box]

Ok i have been looking and am still yet to find one. I am looking for a program like www.gotomypc.com to acess my home comp when on the go. Id like reote admin rather than a simple FTP prog. I would however like it to be a prog that hosts a web server type thing that does not require the viewing computer to have any viewer software installed on it, just to do it thru the internet. Is there such a thing, or are they all like vnc where both computers need software?

Two thoughts..

I think there's a java plug-in for VNC.

There's also a way to run Remote Desktop in a browser - Look for details at this MSN blog.

alright ill take a look, I tried to use the VNC java thing but i cannot get it to work, then again i dont know java....

Ultr@VNC let you view using the Regular Browser.

Some of the advanced capactities might not work but the basic remote control is OK.

Link to: Ultr@VNC (Remote Control for your Network/Interent) - Installation, and Settings

but i thought to do that you need a special java plugin in your browser right>?

 

[JackMDS]

Both Computers OSs, the Viewer, and Host has to be Java capable (it has nothing to do with VNC. No java related application, will work to begin with if there is no Java engine).

In the ultr@VNC Host you have to enable the http viewer (check mark in the upper left side).

Nothing additional to install.

AND im behind a router so how does the internet external IP work with it

 

[Keltron]

you need to user port forwarding in your router. are you using DHCP on your server ? if u are , you will also have to enter the physical MAC address to forward the incoming VPN tunnel to the right workstation or host

how do i find this for my specific comp?

 

[Juice Box]

what about Nortons PC anywhere, do you know much about it?

 

[Torghn]

It doesn't matter what software you use. You will have to enable port forwarding. You need to forward 5800 for vnc to work through a web browser. Then to access your computer you would go to http://yourip:5800

you can find out the physical MAC address of your Netwrok card from device manager

Ok, i know my MAC address, now what

 

[Keltron]

you need to log into your gateway's port forwarding area and assgn a port number to each MAC address
