Recommendation
You should look at using GoToMyPC.
Reasons Why
- GoToMyPC allows any Windows based PC to be controlled.
- The unique architecture of GoToMyPC means that it should not be blocked by a firewall. It therefore does not require any firewall configuration changes in order to allow it to function.
- GoToMyPC is ideally suited for controlling a PC remotely across the internet.
- GoToMyPC does not require the remote PC to be identified by DNS name (or IP address).
