  • It is possible to control a few computers with a wired network but this is talking about using the Internet to control computers. I don't think it would work well trying to use a wire to link my house with my uncles in Scotland! lol
    Help me to help you :santa2:

    My husband is very interested in this but wants to know, how exactly does it work - do the computers need to be networked together to start it or does it work via the internet (not really up on all this stuff!)

    Thanks for any help however!

    It all works via the internet so as long as both PC's are on the internet you can do it, I use logmein at the moment to support the family's PC's mostly. I live quite far away from them now & they were having to wait ages for me to turn up to fix something small so this is ideal for me as I can do everything apart from hardware problems over logmein & they can see what I'm doing so I can teach them at the same time - or try to!
