Need to remotely access a computer but don't want to pay for PCAnywhere? Check out LogMeIn, free
Ever have need to remotely access a computer? such as to access home from work, or vice versa, or to access a remote server for work? There are several alternatives, but if you prefer or need something like PCAnywhere, here is a free alternative.
I'm sure many have heard of GotoMyPC, a neat alternative that I've used for some time, with great success, is Logmein. The have a free and paid version, as well as another tool called Logmein Rescue.
Yes, I do realize there are other tools like VNC, as well as built-in features in Windows like Remote Desktop and Terminal Services, but this one works over HTTP and port 80, so doesn't require any firewall configuration to get it working. Here's a nice O'Reilly review: http://www.oreillynet.com/databases/blog/2005/01/review_of_logmeincom.html
