 |

What is the best remote access/support software? Laptop to network (peer).
Using QBP2007. Also need to access email on network.
Have used pcAnywhere but need web access application.
Citrix appears to be good but is it the most reliable and user friendly?
Need to remotely generate tenant invoices and post transactions to QBP2007. |

I've used webex and it is good, especially for unattended remote
access which sounds like what you wanting. I have since cancelled my
subscription with them as I do not have a high demand for unattended
access now. The package we are using now is gotomeeting.com which
works great for us - I believe that they have a solution that may help
as well - they have a super product!

I use Microsoft's Remote Desktop which is part of the XP Professional
operating system. Also I think it's in Vista. It's low cost/no cost in
fact and works well for me. Sometimes a bit slow but hey so is my
brain!

You'll have to forward the correct port to your PC if behind a
router/firewall etc but it works very well for remote PC operations.

XP Professional's Remote Desktop will prove to be the best & user
friendly. All you require is your external IP address of your network,
set permissions on your system to access remotely. If you have a
firewall then you possibly might have to modify some settings there,
but you should get that from the mfg. It works extremely well! Jim

If the free version that comes with XP is the best & user friendly then why
are there so many third party vendors selling their solutions? Could it be
that the millions of users that spend money for these third party solutions
are stupid?

Not stupid. Just limited by the computer systems that they are using. Not
everyone uses XP Pro, for example. There are also limitations on what you
can do while connected via RD. These 3rd party programs offer better
connections with more options such as local printing or file transfers.
As for limitations here are the basic requirements:
To use Remote Desktop
With Remote Desktop, you can connect to your work computer from home and
access all of your programs, files, and network resources as though you were
actually sitting in front of your computer at work.
You need three things to create a remote location:
1. Microsoft Windows XP Professional must be installed on the computer
containing the files and programs that you want to access from a remote
computer. The computer must also be part of a corporate network in which
Remote Desktop connections are permitted. This computer is known as the
host.
2. The remote computer must be running Windows 95 or later. This computer
must also have the Remote Desktop Connection client software installed. The
remote computer is known as the client.
3. Both computers must be connected to the Internet through a VPN
connection.
Note: If you're not connecting to the host computer through a VPN, you'll
need to use the actual IP address of the host computer instead of the
computer name. |

Yes, it could very well be that.
Look how many buy Symantec's or McCaffee's anti-virus programs when superior
methods are free. Then there is RealPlayer who managed to get the free media
player ripped out of XP so they could sell their product.
It is not now, nor was it ever, about "superior" products; it's about
marketing.
