I Suggest a free little product called VNC (Virutal Network Computing) It's
under the GNU Public License and is a free download to all. The source code
is also available if you wish to tailor it and it works on all platforms as
well as Unix, Mac, Palm, etc... You can pick it up from AT&T. Here is the
link.

It will be all different o/s's.. from 98/2000/xp on the client end..
2000/xp on our support end
Something like the product from www.desktopstreaming.com
<http://www.desktopstreaming.com/> but that costs $1500 a month or more

The biggest question is "what OS are the users running"?
If you've moved everyone to WinXP Pro, you already have a helpdesk
infrastructure in place, but figure those odds, right?

Mornin All,
For our support department we spend a lot of time "guessing, and hoping" the
clients are doing what we tell them to do to troubleshoot problems. While
Terminal Server is great for having people connect to us for product demo's
and training.. it cannot help with support.
We would like to use Conferencing server, but there are so many issues with
firewalls and setup on both server/client sides.
Just wondering if anyone is aware of a program that will allow our support
department to remotely control clients computers, without any special
configuration/firewall setup on the clients end?
Also keep in mind that we are only a 35-40 person company and are not
looking to spend 500-1000 per month.. cheaper the better for my boss :-)
Currently, we have an ISA box as our router/firewall setup for NAT.
Thanks!!
