Help......
I've remember seeing a thread a few weeks ago which discussed a program that can be used to control other puters on my network through just one of them. I.E see/control the desktop of the bedroom puter from the office puter.

Does anyone remember the name of the thread or maybe the name of the program?

thanks

Maybe you mean BoincView?

Thanks for your reply. The program I'm talking about would eliminate the need for a monitor or keyboard on my other networked computers and control the computer directly from a different computer entirely.

hope this clears up what I'm looking for.

I'm still searching the threads, to find the answer for myself.

thanks again

You are welcome :)) Yes, you need BoincView :)

You might check out real VNC. It's a program that lets you run other computers on you network remotely. I hope this helps.

Yes, that's tha name. I remember a discussion about this or some program that is like this. I've been back 31 days on my search, but still don't find the thread. It seems like someone said "X" program was good and then several others stated that the "Y" program was better.

Any Idea how to find VHC?

thanks

You can get quite a few VNC programs at http://sourceforge.net

I found the thread 33 days old. I bumped it to the top if anyone was curious about it.

Thanks for all your help

This version might also be usefull

http://www.tightvnc.com/

You can use an 8 port KVM switch (DKVM-8E) from D-Link. They are stackable and can control electronically (on screen - selectable) upto 64 computers.
The cost for the 8 port version +/- 250€, comes with three sets of cables.

Before I happened to use a mechanical switch, but this one i.e. the D-Link is much faster and much more reliable and a real luxury to operate if you have to control a lot of hardware from one point.
The rotational selector of the former mechanical switch (el cheapo solution) rapidly showed serious signs of wear and tear and hence bad connections ending up in frozen computers and reset and sometimes dataloss.

VNC can be a (cheap)but not in every circumstance flawless solution, but certainly does not offer the same comfort as the hardware solution (always for everything maximum speed).
