QOTD: What Remote Control Software Do You Use?

When you have more than one computer and you're traveling, it helps to be able to access all your machines remotely.
I have several computers at home, and it helps to be able to control them all from a central computer. Running around from machine to machine can be a big pain. Using a remote control software is essential to being able to efficiently manage your machines. I have used several GUI controllers before: Microsoft's own Remote Desktop, Remote Administrator, VNC, Apple Remote Desktop, and of course when I'm going into my Linux boxes, I just SSH in--I'm not using any GUI on my Linux machines.
On the road, remote control is a real necessity. However, things can become problematic for those who have dynamic IP addresses. Once your ISP changes your IP, you'll have no access to your computer from a remote location. That said, there are several ways around this. You can use a dynamic IP client-service solution that allows your remote computer to automatically inform a live server of a new IP change.
For example: homepc.yourdomain.com can always point to the right IP address if you have a client installed on homepc. There are several services that offer this, DynDNS is a service I've used before.
More recently, I've been using LogMeIn instead. It solves the same problem that DynDNS solves, but you don't get your own sub/domain. It's really easy to use and you won't have to worry about dynamic IP services.
The question of the day is: What remote control software do you use?

This Week's Hot News - April 20th to 24th
This week's hot news is going to be a little different. We're inviting you to help us test out a new tool called JogTheWeb designed for wrap ups.
LogMeIn + VNC. Works wonders.
MS RDP and RemotelyAnywhere (Which is a more advanced application from LogMeIn but doesn't utilise LogMeIn's servers so still requires port forwarding etc.)
I use LogMeIn.
DynDNS and TightVNC at home and Real VNC within the domain at work.
DynDNS + [Real,Ultra]VNC
i use teamviewer
I used LogMeIn and it works great when I'm using it. BUT I only need it on occasional out-of-state business trips which is about 5-6 times a year. I wish they had weekly or daily useage fees. Hell I actually wish it was free. Tried other home-brews but LogMeIn is the easiest and most portable.
Live Mesh... get's me file sync and remote desktop.
Terminal Server
Learn to Teamviewer it sets it up and the ID is binded to your computer so if you reformat is only when it changes. It also comes with a partner list so you can add your computers to it and log into it anywhere at anytime.
Dyndns and TightVNC, home and office
SMS, RDP, and VNC at work. KVM at home
Teamviewer.
Remote Desktop (Windows) or SSH over OpenVPN
RemoteDesktop within my house, Live Mesh outside
Hamachi (www.hamachi.cc) and Remote Desktop Connection
LogMeIn...so easy that hurts!
UltraVNC, only for my intranet.
i use remote desktop, when i need it. not too much any more because i use a kvm switch. it works much better.
btw. i use the ati remote wonder for my htpc.

haha! the sad thing is, when i read the title of this article i actually thought it was talking about physical remote controls
I was like well that's kind of a lame article but ok lol
At home I use Remote Desktop, when I'm away I use LogMeIn Free or Pro, depending which computer I'm accessing.
And i also use LogMeIn Rescue to support my customers.
tightVNC. works and its free. I have another one for my iPod, but I can't remember what it's called.
GoToMyPC
I call on the phone and get my daughter to run whatever for me. VERY secure.
Ditto for Logmein and Real VNC. Use them both regularly.
LogMeIn FREE all the way. If I encounter a poor soul with pcanywhere, i tell them to delete it.
I don't remotely access my PC
GoToMyPC
I also don't remotely access my PC.
Another weak QOTD...
NetOp with VNC and about thousand certificates to access the robots at work.
can toms do a guide on how to set this up? i've been interested in doing something like this for my home network and i'm really really quite interested
