You might want to take a look at Croosloops if you are looking for an efficient, easy and free way to connect securely to a computer at another physical location to take control of its screen, mouse and keyboard. CrossLoop enables you to see the screen and control the mouse and keyboard on a remote computer using an encrypted connection which utilizes the Blowfish 128 bit algorithm. Explicit permission has to be granted before the connection is established.
All that needs to be done is download the CrossLoop application and run it at both computers that shall take part in the process. The host, that is the computer that sends it screens to the other computer, has to setup an access code and the computer that wants to join has to enter that access code to be able to establish the connection. A random access code is generated when you click on the Host tab.
This works well even if the computers are secured with a firewall or other means of protection and requires no configuration of them. Routers do not have to be configured as well, just run and connect.
Requirements are that both computers run Windows 98 or later and have at least 128 MB of Ram and 2 MB of hard drive space.

I downloaded CrossLoop immediatly this morning. I use to support 9 provincial offices spread over South Africa, and was looking for a [b]free[/b] remote assistant tool for a long time now. I used teamviewer, which is a great tool, but not free. I could use it for a maximum of 10 sessions of 30 minutes a month.
