I have been using this remote program for a few years now. And it just gets better and better over the previous versions when it was called vnc. I'm using the Tightvnc 1.3(dev7)beta it works quite well no problems using it. The only thing missing from it, it's not listed within the Add/Remove Program (Control Panel). So hopefully they'd release a updated version that will sort out that little problem and fix any other bugs that maybe included.

Fairly easy to use with little networking knowledge. A bit sluggish with slower connections and/or slower puters. I especially liked the capability of administering several clients at the same time in multiple windows. I am a tech and sometimes it is easier to remotely administer the customers computer than to try to explain it by phone or IM. I get the job done quickly and the customer can actually learn by watching it happen in real time. BraVO! Affordable and easy on system resources. Thanks!

Setup couldn't be easier, and I really don't understand networks at all! Besides the network itself, this is the first network software that has ever worked for me. The full screen remote control mode makes it just like you're sitting at the other computer. I recommend this software, check it out.

A fabulous piece of software, I can wake up my network, by sending a magic packet (other software) and using Tightvnc and Kaboodle, I now can run 3 machines locally in separate windows on the main. Not too difficult to set up, vnc almost did all the work for me, you need to know the mac (machine) and ip addresses. I tried it after failing with winvnc, it setup my system in a few minutes. Thanks for a lovely package.

TightVNC is a great tool for accessing your computer from anywhere. It has all these customizable features that allow you to have the best experience of remote computing with its built in http server so you can access it from a web address instead of the client and you can select a window in the server option to only control that certain window which is good for demonstration. This has been the best software I used and plus its small! I would recommend this to every business and home users because its very customizable too!
