HI
Looking for software to let me look at or monitor a computer remotely. I have a desktop that is located on the second floor and a laptop that I use on the frst floor.
Desktop is connected to my little home network via ethernet cable thru a trendnet switch then to my Verizon supplied fios router/modem.
The laptop is connected via wifi.
There are times when I am recording music from the internet using the desktop that takes a few hours or so. I would like to monitor the progressusing my laptop to look at the desktop to make sure all is well.
Oh,, running win7 on both machines.
Is there software to let me monitor and possible control another pc from my laptop?
Running Norton 360 on both pc's.
After I posted this I tried to access the desktop via the laptop using win7 remote feature. Accesses system them remote to make sure it is enabled.
Then went to the network connections, right clicked the desktop pc and tried to access.
Message came back saying that the remote was not turned on, the remote computer is not available on the network, remote server access is not enabled.
Thanks
