From my home, I would like to connect to a Computer in a international country like the UK, using software like "Logmein" or something similar. What are the names of the remote softwares that I can use to do this from the US to UK.
Thanks

There are a ton of different application you can use, it comes down to a few questions. Did you want the remote machine to be running a daemon that will allow you to connect whenever you want or do you prefer to use something ad hoc.
If you do a quick google you'll be presented with a list of options including, goto assist, logmein, teamviewer, VNC, windows RDP, SSH, to name a few.
I have used teamviewer a lot. You can try that. It is free. You have to install it on both machines. It will create an ID & password for both machines. you can define your own fixed password also. now u just have to put the id of the other machine & click on 'remote control' button. Then it will ask for the password & after that you will be able to see & work on the desktop of that machine from your screen. Always click on 'personal/non-commercial use' while installing or whenever it asks. thanks
If you would like to have BIOS level access to the remote computer, you should use KVM over IP. I am using this one for our remote office in Sweden http://minicom.com/kvm_px.htm

Depends on why you are remoting in and the remote client OS
If you are administering computers and they are Windows based RDP works great. Where RDP becomes cumbersome is when you want to do training or have the user show you what they are doing or it's a non MS OS. In those instances I use VNC. (you can use RDP for "over the shoulder" control, but it isn't as slick and easy as VNC)
If you are coming from an iOS or Android based device I highly recommend the Wyse PocketCloud Pro app which supports VNC and RDP along with SSL.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
