Hi,
I noticed our vendor would usually email us a link that if I click on it would enable them to
remote access my desktop PC - they can view my screen/keystrokes & they can take
control of my keyboard/mouse too. The best part of it is it comes thru Tcp port 80 - in
a way this is a defacto rule on the firewall that permits us to browse the Internet.
I'm looking for a freeware like Webex & instructions/steps on how to set it up like what
our vendor is doing. However, instead of the client having to click on the link to activate
or permit the access, I would like a tool that can be enabled by the remote end just by
entering password (just like Remote Desktop/pcAnywhere) but the port used to access
is still Tcp port 80 (or any customizable port number).
If Webex is a freeware, let me know a link where I can get started quickly on getting it
set up for use.
Also, if possible the software should be able to operate through dialup phone line - ie I
would like to be able to remote access my office PC from my home via Internet (both
the corporate network as well as possibly through a dialup line)
Thanks

Can Teamviewer be configured to use a specific Tcp port (say port 80)
so that we can bypass the firewall (in most companies, port 80 is a
permitted port for the organization's desktop to browse Internet)
Yes, I just want to workaround the firewall thingy like what Webex
could do
Does Teamviewer provide similar functionality as Webex (just found out
from HP that Webex is not free)

Teamviewer is a remote access software that as long as you setup your own password for it (and not let it randomly generate one) you can log into a remote computer without anyone required to be on the other end.
Good Luck.
