Using your computer wihtout a monitor over the network....

[AmigoThree]

Ok I saw something on this board of how to do this with a certain program but I completely forgot where I saw it or what the program was called and I can't find it anywhere because I dont know what I am looking for. So what is this program called?

 

[Guero]

VNC?

VNC rules

 

[MajinSSJVegetto]

VNC does rule

 

[Gnerma]

VNC really does rule

EDIT - removed picture

VNC really does rule

Check it out (4 desktops in 1)

EDIT - If the image doesn't work right click it and click 'show picture'.

"show picture" didn't work, either.

Does VNC run as slowly for y'all as it does for me?

What's the diff between VNC and PC Anywhere?

 

[Gnerma]

VNC works cross platform & is freeware

PC anywhere is Windows only (pretty sure) and is NOT freeware..

 

[chuckerants]

How's the speed difference? I use PC Anywhere now, but I feel it should be faster.

 

[rogerdugans]

Those are the biggest differences, or at least the most noticeable

PC Anywhere takes up a lot more hard drive space as well, but it does have a lot more features, such as built-in security protocols, etc.

VNC is usually pretty fast on my network, but I have a strange problem at the office: the pc that holds source code for a bunch of different clients will periodically lock up the VNC screen. Close vnc and start a new session and its fine- for a while.
Strange, and I haven't bothered with looking for answers to it (yet.) It does run slow at work though, on all the machines.

 

[overdoze]

Tightvnc is as fast as PC anywhere and vnc run on any OS not just windows.

 

[AmigoThree]

yep that was what I was looking for, VNC

 

[MajinSSJVegetto]

The only one thats free though, is VNC.

If anyone has a good free one besides VNC, tell me!
I really need one that goes over the internet, not just a network, if anyone knows of a good free one.

I thought VNC worked over the internet.

VNC will work you just have to forward the port if you have a router

I've used VNC myself...very nice program.

However...is it me (might be another program I installed at or about the same time as..) or does VNC chew up a lot of memory??

Seems like after I installed it, I started getting all kinds of error messages...the "Not Enough Memory...close some apps" ones...

[MajinSSJVegetto]

VNC will do that? I never tried because I thought it was just for over a network. Guess I'll try that this weekend.

from linux:
ssh -l username hostname



And once you're there,

nohup FAHblah -forceasm -advmethods > nohup.txt &

If using windows and you want to use the above to access a linux box for folding, use Tera Term Pro with the SSH addon.

Also try PuTTY, which I have used to access my PC upstairs runny Linux from my dads Win95 PC downstairs.
