How to Connect two Computers over the Internet

Over the months we have learned how to Stream Audio and Video over the LAN/Intranet. But today I am going to tell you how to share and connect PCs across the world then you can do anything you want just by sitting miles away from your own PC.
Few months back we have also learned the same thing through CrossLoop. This time I have come up with yet another free to use application that can totally change the way you browse the Internet.
Recently, I found a free application LogMeIn that is used to share your computer in the most secure way.
The fact that it’s free to use for multiple remote PCs makes this remote-access program instantly appealing. The program differs from its competitors in that the application runs in your Web browser. If you’re running Firefox, it asks to install a plug-in and then opens an emulator of the remote PC in a new window.
The control window gives you some standard options such as Ctrl-Alt-Del (which kills the connection) and changing the view settings, as well as tabbed access to adjust the connection setting. The 256-bit SSL encryption and dual passwords–one for the program and one for the remote PC’s log-in–are welcome protections.
How it works:-
LogMeIn takes just a minute to set up, and its automated setup wizard guides you through a few quick steps.
1.) Sign Up
Enter your email address and choose a password. The automated set up wizard guides you quickly through the process.
2.) Connect
Log into www.logmein.com, click the computer you want to access, and you’re in!
3.) Work
Control your PC as if you were sitting in front of it. Send email, run programs, open files.
So have you ever tried this application before? What’s your take on this? Compare it with CrossLoop.
I love this tools, its is on demand, we use it to support a lot of our clients.

I’m not clear…How we pick the computer we want to control? I mean how to define the computer ID?
Now when you want to access your home computer from anywhere, just log in to website logmein.com with your email id used before and select your home computer from the list.
That’s it.
Hope I am clear now. Reply back if you have any other doubt. I am always available for my dear readers.
Oh I see now…So, I have to open the software from my home computer first and this is how my PC will be identified. Definitely clear now. Thanks Rakshit!
Hey !
You are back to blogging !!
Good to hear that.
@Arpit
yep, I am very much into it now.
You’ve got to be joking right?
Hi Rakshit, I stumbled on your blog and frankly speaking I’m very impressed with what you have done so far! Keep up the good work!!!
Anyways, TeamViewer is a better alternative to LogMeIn. You can find it here - http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx
