What is full version here mean? It mean I and partner have to install from TeamViewer_Setup.exe instead of Portable TeamVersion? How to solve problem when TV say: “Connections with the Free version will automatically be terminated after 5 minutes.”

I and partner use Portable version at:

What is full version here mean? It mean I and partner have to install from TeamViewer_Setup.exe instead of Portable TeamVersion?

WOW. It's great!!! And it's the first one that actually works! The only problem that I had was that the wallpaper of the other computer's desktop disappeared when I was logged in and all I could see was a black wallpaper, so did the other person.

All those data that is going through the servers. At the moment i also test some remote-desktop programs and team viewer is one of them. I guess the first step is also for setting up some security.

I have tested several remote-desktop tools, but always I had problems with firewalls and proxy-servers. It's really depressing to explain a non-techie how to configurate a router to get remote-access. Therefore I love TeamViewer, no configuration work necessary. Some weeks ago I considered, how does TeamViewer connect to computers behind firewalls. So I have contacted the TeamViewer support-team. In the first step you connect will be established through the TeamViewer server. The server checks if a direct connection is possible. Is this possible, the connection will be switched to a direct connection between you and your partner. If a direct connection is not possible because of firewall, proxy-server, nat-router then the whole connection will be redirected through TeamViewer servers. But don't sweat it. All connection with TeamViewer are fully encrypted. I use TeamViewer since some month – a really great tool which has helped me to save much time in giving support to friends and my family.

Instead you have 25 hours free usage of the full software per month, which should be enough for the most of us :) hey there,
