Remote connections

[RichAlgeni]

For those times when you really need to connect to someone's (a client, family, whatever) machine, I heard of this site, which seems to work pretty well. You don't have to register, at least right now, just download and go.

The way this works is that the crossloop server acts as host for both your machine, and that of the machine you are trying to connect to.

There is also Teamviewer. It allows you to connect to any who also has teamviewer running as long as you have the session password.

Which uses the same sort of method as above.

TeamViewer has a nicer UI imo and if I ever needed to I'd use that.

I like Hamachi - though have found that I need to disconnect from it before making any steam payments (if there is a difference between your registered home address and the country your IP address maps to, it throws up an error) - if these other solutions pipe your connection, I think the same error will crop up

Hamachi is the same thing as the other two sort of (as in the data is channeled through hamachi then onto them). As for the steam issue, that's just checks in steam to make sure you're buying games in your region to pay their region price. ie some games in different regions may be sold much cheaper than they are here.

The only difference is teamviewer and the other one only channel the applications data through their servers to make remote connection quick and easy.
