I downloaded Remobo on my desktop and laptop for remote access. When I load the program on each computer it shows connection (buddies are not grayed out) but I am unable to connect. I’ve tried Chrome, IE, Firefox, firewall disabled and not disabled, you name it and all I get is ‘Page cannot be found”. Also I tried using IP address and username.remote.com. Also I went into Windows XP security to allow access to the current IP addresses. Running on frustration. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks

For those that are saying that the only reason to require users to create an account is to spy, You really must have no clue about the fact that they are trying to make it as easy as using an instant messenger client instead of having to perform complicated setup and having to find out your IP address and then send that to the person on the other end and so on and so on…. The beauty of this approach is that it is much simpler than just about any other remote desktop approach (including Microsoft’s own builtin remote desktop client which doesn’t usually work well with firewalls even if you do grant it permissions to work through them!). Next thing you’ll tell me the only reason to create an account with instant messenger clients is so that the hosting company can spy on you. Grow up you paranoid freaks!

Hey Roger and Elliot Housse!
Remember Proxy is not a VPN, that is a big difference
Thanks,

Roger - I haven't tried Proxy Networks yet but I will now. Thanks for the link. You did, however, make a mistake. You didn't add http to the front of your url. This means the browser can't read it (that's why it's not working). It should look like this: remote access software. Well, my work here is done. Off to save the world!

I hope I'm not out of line here but I'd like to make a plug for (and ask for opinions on) Proxy Networks. Their remote access software is pretty useful, though not free. I don't know if their trial membership counts. My company has been using them for a while now and their security is what really keeps us on them. I know it's an Enterprise Level software compared to the individual software shown here but I was hoping you guys could comment on this. Samer - have you tried this before? Have any of your readers. Let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks.

I’ve been using hamachi, then turn to remobo, but now I turn to NeoRouter, that’s faster than the others and use the similar tech. The more important is I can have my own server setup, void using hamachi or remobo relay server when p2p cannot be created.

Hmm, I agree with a couple of others.
As soon as I see an account must be created I move on. The only reason to require account logins is to spy.

Looks like a great program BUT it will not work under Vista 64 bit! The forums said they are working on the problem (driver) but nothing as of today.

Looks like an awesome application. I’ve used Hamachi as well, but I’m the biggest fan of LogMein.com.

I agree with the comment about registered accounts and it needs to allow private handshaking to give straight connections. ShowMyPC supports private SSH servers to allow this, so does UltraVNC (though the download links are currently broken on their site.) TeamViewer, Hamachi, etc., etc., etc. all have the weakness of “we’re secure and promise not to look.” Uh…yeah. That must be the IT version of, “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”

Just install it, such a cool tool.. now I can checkin /checkout code from home, let along VNC to the server in the office. Accessing control would only be a matter adding/removing contacts, like that with skype or MSN. Any plan to have it work on linux?

great post! I thought your recent writeup on gbridge was cool, but I just tried this and it’s even better. Plus it works on my MacBook which is a def plus. The private Bittorrent looks like it could come in handy sharing large files just with friends etc
