TeamViewer

[DocBrown]

Anybody else had memory problems with TV & Win 7?

Running it on my laptop to access 2 other computers in my flat, and randomly the memory usage shoots up and makes everything mega slow, only resolved by killing the task in task manager and restarting it. Don't have the same problem on other computers, so can't figure it out

It might be the 3gb memory & the video card memory in the laptop

I don't have any problem on any of my desktop computers with 4gb memory, lots of IE tabs open, & numerous Gadgets running.

No problems in 3 lappy on win 7 ultimate. Memory from 2-4 gigs. This one I would buy

I used to use TeamViewer, but it became very unreliable, and would disconnect me when joining a remote computer to my network by VPN. I switched to using LogMeIn, and haven't had any complaints since. It's been great.

No problems here on the laptops.
Still recommending TV to others...

TeamViewer is available for iOS in the app store for free so I might end up using it to control my Windows 7 machines from my iPod. That would be awesome.

Derek,
Bet you can't find a coach for the 49 ers or defensive coach for the Raiders on Teamviewer!

49ers are trying to get Jim Harbaugh from Stanford, Raiders just have to deal with Al Davis, that's their hurdle.

I'm going to put TeamViewer on the computer in the DeLorean, so I can see what Derek is doing when I'm taking my Cat-naps!

I have spent numerous hours trying to get PPTP VPN tunnels to work on my network/system following every great tutorial on these forums....even reading other posts that have issues.

Every protocol was followed and forwarded to the right place and everything should have worked.
Nothing would allow it to work. I finally stumbled across a thread one day on how Telus possibly blocked port 1723.
So I phoned them and kind of got an admission but they totally beat around the bush, nevermind the fact I am trying to speak to someone who can't even speak English.

So I wasted 3 days on this. I put the VPN option on the back burner for a while and have been looking at other options.

Now, recently I decided I want to try RDP. Actually, I did get Windows to work with RDP, but only one direction, and not the one I wanted. I need my Win 7 Professional laptop to be able to RDP to my Vista machines, all of which are Home Premium versions.

I could get the Vista machines to RDP to the Win7 machine because 7 Pro. can host an RDP session, but Vista Home Premium is not able to host an RDP session. So my good laptop that I travel with can't do what I need it to do.
Again, I wasted 2 or 3 days on that.

TeamViewer does it all. I am not sure exactly what protocol, or security it works on, but I am not transporting CIA material......at least not yet.......tee hee!!

Anywho. It has saved me alot of grief as I like to use Windows programs when possible, and I have a pretty good grasp on networking, and I consider myself smart enough to figure it out eventually....but MAN.

RDP and VPN have had me stumped for some time, and even getting RDP to work, it only works in "certain directions".

Doc, I am curious though, as I haven't researched it at all, what form or security of VPN is TeamViewer using?

I just wonder how secure it actually is, and is there a giant database in some mountain bunker where the TeamViewer corporate leaders are filtering/screening all the data that travels over the networks it creates......:huh:

LOL




Like I said, nothing travels my network that is of National Security standards or criminalistic, but just curious.

I love the program myself. Super easy to work with.

I did a remote TeamViewer connection last night to help a student with Malwarebytes & AVG anti-Virus scans They had a Windows XP laptop connected via wireless
TeamViewer work smoothly

 

[StalkeR]

I have fixed a lot of errors using Team Viewer. Scanned drives,installed/uninstalled software/games ....
It's very good program.
