I want to set up a remote control software for my home pc. But I don't want it to cause errors for FAH.
I recall somebody having problems when using Microsoft's Remote Desktop to manage FAH, and I think 7im (might have been someone else, can't remember) said to use VNC.
I am thinking about trying TeamViewer, but not sure which system it uses. Or maybe RealVNC.
Are those okay? Or do you have any recommendations?

Re: Remote control
I use the free version of LogMeIn and find it to be easy to setup and use, but I've never really tried any others so I can't comment on them.

Re: Remote control
LMI and Real are both good.

Re: Remote control
I have used Radmin, which is good, but they make it hard to transfer it to a new PC without asking them for a reactivation of the license, which I have had to do several times. But I just found LiteManager, and the free version is working very well for me on Win7 64-bit. It is faster than Ultra VNC, for example.

I see. Awesome. Thanks guys, really helpful 
Re: Remote control
Remote Utilities is similar to Radmin, but has firewall bypass and simple registration with a key.

Re: Remote control
I've only had experience with LogMeIn and TeamViewer. They are both good and both free. If you have any Linux systems, Teamviewer is the way to go is it works on both Linux and Windows machines.

Re: Remote control
Any idea which one is the fastest? And the one needing the least bandwidth? Mobile internet here is crap.

Re: Remote control
LMI has a video quality setting, customize for high quality, low, or Auto. Helps with slow coonections.

Re: Remote control
Both have different speed settings, to adjust to Internet connection speed. Iceman, they are both relatively easy to install remove. So just try them both if you feel like it.
