There is a small plugin useful to implement a remote control system that is working also behind the firewalls.

All the system is made only by freeware components.

For more information and plugin download, see this site: MSN Messenger Remote Control

The website address was changed. The new address is http://pizzaiolo.everywebhost.com

Now on the website there are instructions to setup and use the Remote Control plugin, code-name Nautilus Remote Control.


Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

The link worked for me.

It does now, apparently...the link must have been fixed after the post

Before I install it I can't find any evidence on the site that this 'addition' actually doesn't patch or edit the runtime or executable files of MSN Messenger...

What do you mean by that?  Is it safe to use or are you saying it does nothing?

With the Remote Control plugin system, you can have the following scenario:

You install the server plugin on your office PC that is behind a corporate firewall, which doesn't accept any incoming connections.

You install the client plugin on your home PC.

You have two different MSN user logged: user A on the office PC and user B on the home PC.

On the office PC you are running VNC server, while on the home PC you are running VNC viewer in listening mode.

User B (home) sends a Remote Control plugin command to user A (office). The server plugin of User A automatically makes a connection to the home PC through VNC.

At the end you have user A (at home) automatically connected to the office PC, which can fully controlled through the VNC.

I hope my description was clear, even not much detailed.

I am not expert about Remote Assistance. If it is possible to make an automatic remote connection from the home PC to the office PC behind a corporate firewall, please explain me how.

I'm saying it could be illegal

Can you please tell me whether it is possible to do the same automatic remote control simply with Remote Assistance ?

If so, the Remote Control plugin is useless !

Please, let me know.

Bye
