    Question GoToMyPC, But Free?

    Hi,

    I like the look of GoToMyPC, but don't like the price tag. I am just looking for a VNC server of some sort with the viewer accessible through a web page, using something like Java (NOT ActiveX). The server will be an XP desktop, and the client will be as well, using IE6. Also it will need to scale my display, as the server runs at 1600x1200 (it's my desktop machine), and the client is 1024x768.

    Can anyone recommend me anything?

    Thanks

    pretty much every vnc server should do what you're after - e.g. try running a realvnc server, then access http://machinename:580x (add the display number reported by reralvnc to 5800 to get the port)

    yeah, I've beeing using realvnc to do that exact same thing, if you get blocked at work you can always run an ssh server, then run putty with port forwarding on the local host to bypass any restrictions
