Networking with 3 computers-I want to use MY computer to run maintain

Hi

I have 2 laptops in the house hold that are connected Wirelessly to the internet.

My computer, the king, is a desktop. This has a wired internet connection.

To save me the task of manually going to the laptop in the other room to download a file to it or perform a system scan, couldn't i do it remotely from my computer? Like take control of the laptop and what is on the laptop's monitor is on my monitor and have full control of it?

I believe its called remote assistance? Or is there better software out there?

Thanks
Dan

Teamviewer is what i would recommend - it's free for personal use.

I would suggest you run the teamviewer host on the systems you wish to control (you can run the full version if you ever want to access the desktop from a laptop Even remotely over the internet), ande set it to start with windows. there is a full manual available on the site

So the free version allows me to control the laptop? but the laptop cant control the desktop?


Thanks for this. I'll download it.
