logmein

FYI - if you're looking for a good free remote access program try logmein.com

it's free and it's compatible with our mogul's. I've used my phone to access information from both my work PC and Home PC on numerous occasions.

VNC is faster.
And open source.
I tried logmein once... it was nice, but I found the interface to be a PITA, and a resource hog in the PC server side.

Also, VNC can let me remote my linux box, my office mac, and my home PC since it is multi-platform. Its cool to show people that I'm running OS X on my Mogul (take THAT, iphone!). This is all stuff logmein, gotomypc, and all the other web-based remote desktop clients won't support.
Those are good for people who don't have the networking knowledge to set up a proper VNC server that can be accessed via a public address.

can you post a link to the viewer you use ? thx!!

I tried VNC once, but I didn't want to waste the time researching and setting it up to be used from anywhere, so I just downloaded Logmein so I could do it easily.

easily, perhaps, but also slower and using more resources on the PC side.

Vertig0, there's a bunch of VNC clients you can use. Some are free (the .net one), but the really good ones are commercial (but still cheap... like $20 for PTVnc, which is the fastest of the bunch).

The only problem I have with logmein is that I auto hide the start menu and it is a bitch to trick it into opening.
