remote desktop-ing

[trooperiziz]

Morning.

I currently run LogMeIn to allow access to my home machine via HTTP, which is just dandy. However it isn't the most efficient of clients.

Is there a better solution that I could be using, to connect to a machine running Windows XP Home, preferably that runs over HTTP Port 80?

Does XP Home have Remote Desktop?

Failing that GoToMyPC is worth a look, I used it for years before "savvy" network admins started blocking its server.

Famatech Radmin (configurable port). We and our business partners use it for dozens of clients on a daily basis. It is reliable, secure, efficient and sooooo easy to set up. Alternatively, UltraVNC is free but more complex to configure.

Hope this helps.

UltraVNC is a possibility, but not fully understanding the vaugeries of networks, if I setup UltraVNC to run on port 80, won't that intercept all port 80 requests and screw up using http on that machine for general web etc...?

Found these guys www.teamviewer.com/ anybody used this client?

You can change the port that RDP uses quite easily (to port 80), google has the answer!

Does google answer how to get RDP on a Home machine?
