Remote access in Windows 7

There are several ways to connect two computers. I believe that the connection via modems 56k means a connection through the Internet, and not through a local network.

In Windows 7, there is a built-in computer connection tool. Called Remote Assistance . With its help, you create an invitation file, send it to another computer by email or transfer it, for example, on a flash drive. On another computer, run this file. Then the session will begin. This mode allows you to see the screen of another computer, and also gives you the opportunity to control another computer. But all actions need to get permissions from another computer.

Another built-in method is Remote Desktop . For this, it is necessary that the computers are on the local network, or the computer you are connecting to has a white IP (you most likely do not have it).

You can bypass this restriction by connecting computers via the Internet to a local network. For example, the program Hamachi allows you to create a virtual local area network. You can probably imagine working in a local network.

There is also a class of programs for remote control. For example, the popular TeamViewer. Others can look like this . They allow you to share your desktop, share files, manage another computer. They have a text messenger and the possibility of voice communication.

About the speed of 56 Kbps. This speed is enough to work at the minimum settings. At the same time, display styles, visual effects will not work, a window will not be displayed while dragging.

1. Remote tables will work quite adequately at 56k, but a bit slowly.
2. In addition to Hamachi, TeamViewer and built-in remote management tools, there is also a wonderful Radmin program. Its advantages in separate work (it is installed as a separate service, which works quite stably even with some failures of the system itself), does not require an obligatory connection to the Internet.
3. A direct call from a computer to a computer using modems is quite real, but you have to make some settings for access rights so that remote control (no matter what program) becomes possible, as well as some network connection settings. What exactly to configure and how exactly depends on the program used, the type of connection and of course the operating system. Tell me exactly how you want to configure (with or without Internet connection) and what program you will use - I will tell you how to configure

at the request of Anvar: you can read here Local network via dial-up

The easiest way is to connect both of these computers to the Internet via dial-up. Or as an option to use a direct call through the telephone network from one computer to another.

on 56k, remote desktops are unlikely to work adequately. Is there no ethernet cards on a PC with WIN7?
