Hey Shane

   I would like to be able to log into my desktop from my laptop while away on business. What is the best software for this? Also I have remote assistance unchecked in system properties and have disable the remote services. Do these need to be enabled to log in and would I have to set up my router to allow me to log in from a hotel connection?

Shane:
Keep it simple, just like I do :-)

Use the free version of teamviewer.com

Install it on your home computer, have it start with Windows and set a password. Right down the ID it gives you (It never changes) and keep the ID in your wallet. Then when traveling load up teamviewer on your laptop , put in the ID and password and your set.

No port forwarding, no nothing needed :-)

Awesome, works perfectly. Have you ever tried the video function for communication (I guess the equivalent would be skype)?

Shane:
Never tired it. I just use it to control my office computer when I am in the house lol
