Looking for Remote Desktop Software

Jafo · February 5th, 2008

I'm looking for an easy to use remote desktop program that I can use from work or anywhere else in the world to access my computer at home. I also would like to be able to use a wake-on-lan function when the computer happens to be off. I'm just now getting into this type of access at work and I'm looking for a freeware program that will work as well as what I'm using at work.

I've used LogMeIn.com to access my boss's computer from home for a while over the summer and its great. I just don't know if u can wake it up......

Its free

You might try VNC. It's free and works well in my opinion.

Jafo is there a reason why you can't use remote desktop that comes with XP?

may need to add in the needed ports if there is a router at home, otherwise the built in Windows RDC should work fine
