GoToMyPC replacement

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Hello...

I have a WinXP user who needs to view the desktop of a
Win2k and a Win98 machine. All computers are behind a
NAT-enabled firewall, so no one can ping anyone else.

I'm looking for software I can own that would stream a
Win32 desktop to my own website. Something like GoToMyPC,
but that I would own and run the website. The person doing
the viewing does not need to remote control the hosts, just
view them. Remote control ability would just be icing on
the cake.

If I can't have that, I'd be open to other solutions, such
as Remotely Anywhere (which my user does not like at all).

Any suggestions?

Thx,
D.

Check out Dameware, or UltraVNC

Thank you, but both programs require a tcp/ip connection which I
will not have since all computers are behind NAT-enabled
firewalls and no computer can ping any other. VPNs are not an
option.

Any other suggestions?

any possibility of opening up TCP 3389 inbound on the router(s) for RD?

I don't know of any competitor to GoToMyPC, alas.

How about a persistent SSH tunnel? These are fairly easy to setup and
don't have the complexities of VPNs?
