Plug-in installation was equally straightforward for FireFox 3.6.Īs long as the LogMeIn application is running on the host, and is set to accept incoming connections, all that’s required to control the host machine is to surf to login, and choose the machine you wish to control. This is not required, but without it, the LogMeIn interface is not as elegant. The first time we tried to contact our home computer using our MacBook Pro, we were asked to install a small Flash plug-in for Safari. Using LogMeIn, the "other" computer, the one that is doing the remote controlling, needs only a web browser.
This eliminates much of the hassle of older solutions like Timbuktu, which either require fiddling with your firewall and setting up port forwarding, or going through the trouble of installing, using, and running Skype to help Timbuktu find your home computer. This application keeps LogMeIn aware of your Internet address, and handles communications through your firewall or router.

Once you’ve set up your account at LogMeIn, you download a small installer application that sets up the LogMeIn application on the host computer. Google Chrome is supported, but we did not try it. We used it successfully with both Safari 4.04 and FireFox 3.6. All that the LogMeIn Pro2 remote computer needs is a web browser. LogMeIn Pro2 is a web browser-based remote control and file transfer application that uses a small application on the host computer (the one you wish to control) to talk to the central LogMeIn server. Older remote control methods, such as Netopia’s Timbuktu require a separate, stand-alone application. We took LogMeIn Pro2 out for a spin for several weeks, and here are our impressions. The good people at LogMeIn set up a test account for the Weeks Division of MyMac Labs to use. LogMeIn has entered the remote access fray with LogMeIn Free and LogMeIn Pro2. More and more people need remote access to their home computer while at work or on the road.
