I've tried logmein, and its ok, but has some restrictions which are a bit of a pain when your trying when trying to help my hosting clients. The install is simple & easy to use & the download is small. I had no problems with any nat/firewall issues as Brad has mention, but i suppose its something to bear in mind. I think its great. Thanks for the heads up This is perfect for me and my clients.

Still haven't tried it, but in case you're curious - google "Crossloop" and there are some pages with reviews (download.com) and a link to a digg.com submission at the bottom of the page (or maybe the top of the next one depending on the way the SERPS go).

At my previous job, I used to use this all the time, could be tricky sometimes behind NAT/firewalls, but most of the time it seemed to work.

If someone calls you for help you don't want them to install an app that requires you to give out the master password. CrossLoop will allow you to direct someone to just download and install it, then share their PC and give you the password. This also makes the access temporary as opposed to the permanence of LogMeIn. Each has its own use, and I recommend both. Hope that helps. John Wayne,

I am also a fan of LogMeIn Hamachi for my own use. At work we use WebEx. It's always good to have options, though! Interesting and good to know. I am also a fan of LogMeIn Hamachi for my own use.
