I have lot's of work at the office lately. I think working at home after dinner would be fine and that would require remote access of my office computer.
I read some of the instructions on how to run remotepc. What I understand is that I need to download a RemotePC Host program and install it in my office computer. Next I will have to download RemotePC Viewer and install it in my home computer.
So, I downloaded the RemotePC Host software then installed it in my office computer. Installation is quite easy. After installing a dialogue box popped up prompting me to login. Since, I don't have an account with RemotePC I need to sign up first. The normal lengthy questions to filled up was there but in the end part to my surprise I need to enter credit card information. I thought this was a FREE 30 day trial software. Anyway they have their own reason for asking this information as it's needed for them to AUTOMATICALLY upgrade the service to a premium one after the 30 day trial expires. Yikeeesss !
I don't have this credit card information they need so after pondering a bit about this.. I just decided not to try the software. Anyway the VPN client was set already on our home computer so I just click on that to connect to the AIT network then used the WinXP Remote Desktop client to connect to my office pc.
In the end VPN & Microsoft Remote Desktop works just fine. The good thing is I don't need to pay for using it every month to connect to my office pc.
