Remote Connection Software

[Mayfriday0529]

Besides Windows XP Remote Connection and Pc Anywhere what other good remote connection software out there for mostly connecting inside my lan to have a stand alone server with no monitor.

 

[loup garou]

UltraVNC, RealVNC, Funk Proxy.

 

[WATERBOI]

radmin, remotely anywhere, net meeting (requires user intervention on the host end)

thats for the tips guys i will look into them.
anyone know who is the lowest price? hopefully still secure.

oh wait Radmin seems cheap and i heard good things about, guess going to read several websites today.

There is no question RAdmin is the best bang for the buck.
It doesnt have a million trinkets like the others, but it does what 99% of the world needs. I jus twish it had some more security options...

I believe RealVNC is free. Can't beat that!

Thanks WobleWoble

i guess i have my work cut out this weekend to try them both free is always very good.

i tried both RealVNC and Radmin
Radmin gives more options like file tranfering and telnet etc and RealVnC doesnt which thats ok. what i did see is with Radmin the actual display the color drops down to about little bit more than 256 color and you see everything even the wallpaper and with RealVNC i got nicer display no wall paper which is ok. both seem to give the same response time.
for now i will use RealVNC since its free.

In RADMIN, highlight a connection link, then go to Connection -> Properties -> Remote Control/View Tab... you can set the # of colors, refresh rate, window size etc.

Just FYI.

if VNC does what you want and its free then enjoy.

We have radmin corporate site license $900 which we purchased about 2 years ago. It was $700 but we waited a few months. Now it's $4,500 I have no idea why the huge jump in price. I use it daily. I've tested a ton out and like radmin the best. The best free one lately is UltraVNC IMHO.
