Re: Remote assistance only partly working



OK, I now have over 15 hours invested in trying the MSN messenger 7.5
approach, so I tried the www.logmein.com site and downloaded their free
version.

It ran, right off the bat, and I tested it on my wife's computer, no
problem. I still have to get it installed on a couple of computers so that I
prove to myself that I can access them thru my/their routers over the
internet. I'll keep you posted.

Hi gang,

environment is:

My brother in Florida has a wireless network
I have a wireless network in Indiana

While in Florida visiting, i installed MSN messenger 7.5 on my brothers
computer and mine, and used "remote assistance" without problems at his
house.

After returning to Indiana, I installed MSN messenger 7.5 on my wife's
computer and can use it in the house without problems on out two machines.


*** PROBLEM ****
When I attempt to start remote assistance over the internet to my brother.
- he requests remote assistance
- I accept
- it says it is starting, and then:
- "Remote Assistance connection disconnected, Please try again" and
we can't connect.


Thanks for any help.
