4RemoteSupport provides a software solution for online
remote PC control over the
Internet for computer support. The software service is free to try for 10 days. No
credit card is required to try the service. The
remote support software
doesn't require a pre-installed client and is downloadable on demand on the web. For
remote desktop control on the web, both the computer the person providing the remote technical support from and
the the target remote computer which will be supported remotely need to be connected to
the internet for the system to work. Dial-up internet service for either
side is ok as the on-demand remote pc control software will still function but the results
will be slower.
Desktop remote
support is achieved by two distinct pieces of software
running. The person providing the technical support remotely using on-demand
pc remote control through the web will have a viewer
running on their desktop. The viewer is launched from their account profile page
or could be running from a previous support session but still would have been
launched in the same manner - through their member profile page. The
target
system, the end-user, will login for on the main page of
www.4remotesupport.com. They use the
ID of the member account - the person who is subscribed to the service. The ID
is the viewer id of the member.
Upon successful login they go to another page that has a
pc remote support connect button on
it and manual download link. They click that button for the support session to start. The connect page is
also in place to confirm who they will be connecting to in case they have
misspelled the email address (the id). Two IDs that are similar and an end-user
misspelling the intended email address to login with may cause that user to
connect to the wrong tech. One which they do not even know. This has never
occurred and is a very remote possibility of ever happening but this little
check has been put in place to help in preventing such an incident from
occurring. A checkbox on the online
remote support member profile page letting them decide weather to
have the page even show up is in development and will hopefully be added soon.
This will enable the account holder to choose weather or not to have their users
even go to that
page or just go directly to the downloading page.
On-demand remote desktop control
software delivered to the
remote system from the web when an applet is loaded
online and then downloads remote control software to their system that connects
back to the tech support person on the web. The tech support person now has full
remote desktop control of the remote desktop.
Each account has a online remote
support profile page built for it automatically. on this page the
member could change the IP address to their network and the port address the
software will use to deliver the desktop stream through. This configuration is
required by the subscriber and generally needs to be done once. Most people who
are looking for remote support software are IT people and have no trouble
understanding this need nor implementing it. Many providers have the same
requirement so this is no surprise at all to rather member. The higher-end
packages , the " boutique " remote support software solutions don't require this
and connect dynamically. We hope to get there one day but it will take a lot of
little steps until we get to that one. There are some higher-end support
packages that require the purchase of hardware, usually a server with their
software on it, that still will require a port forwarding configuration on a
firewall or router if purchased. The reason for this is because the buyer would
not want to leave their purchased on-demand
remote support software system exposed to all
the attacks on the internet so it must be put behind a firewall.

A single account allows for remote
desktop support of an unlimited number
of computer systems anywhere on the Internet. It is not a
service that is
priced per seat of target computers but is priced by account. That is, the cost
is for an account that will be providing remote support. The system doesn't
require and pre-installed client software on either end of the remote support
session for pc remote control on the
web. A Java virtual machine however should be installed on both the
supporting system and the target computer that will be remote controlled. If a
java VM is not found on the target computer then a link will be presented to the
end-user or account member from which they could click and install the java
plug-in. That is the only requirement.
In the works and under development for enhancing the on-demand
pc remote support solution
is the plan to have a backup connection method so that such a case occurs where
the target remote computer doesn't have the java plug-in installed, a link will be
presented to the end-user which could then click on it for an alternate manual download
mechanism to start the remote support session. The text to be displayed
along with that will be of course something to the effect of "if the automatic
download failed click here" . This redundancy or failover will be a great
addition to the service is actively being researched and developed.
Desktop remote control is achieved by two distinct pieces of software
running. The person providing the technical support remotely will have a viewer
running on their desktop. The viewer is launched from their account profile page
or could be running from a previous support session but still would have been

You're doing great if you configured your router. If need be, I would be
happy to configure it all for you but I think one more setting needs changing
and your done. The error message you receive currently when you run the tester
is normal.
Let me explain, if the IP address on your profile page is set for a
private address, like your computer's 192.168.0.100, then you WILL
get that message because there is no way to reach your computer
directly, the router "protects" it. That is why port forwarding is
used for our online and
on-demand
pc remote control
on the Internet.
Set your IP address in your profile to your PUBLIC address. That's the
address assigned to your
d-link router by your cable/DSL provider. It can be
obtained from your member page in the upper right hand corner. Do a
double-check on your profile page but I think it's 68.98.xxx.xxx .
Once you do that, start your viewer if it's not already running on
the task bar and try the tester again. As long as you do not change
the port number, you do not have to restart the viewer.
**Using the PUBLIC address in your profile is the configuration for
pc remote control of computers over
the Internet. Using the
private computer address is for LAN or private WAN support.
The router is configured with the computers address just because that
is how port forwarding works. I know your not a techno-head but
picture a data packet coming to your router through the public
Internet side - the port on the back of the router labeled WAN. That
packet has in it a port number that it's trying to deliver itself to.
The d-link is now configured to forward packets with port number 5500
from the WAN port to the LAN port that your computer is connected to.
If you wanted to provide pc remote
support to computers in your own office you would
set the IP address in your profile to your computer's private address
of 192.168.0.100. The tester wouldn't work, it actually can't work,
but this is the configuration for LAN or private WAN pc support. You
have a couple of computers and they are probably close to one another
so this wouldn't make sense but picture an office with several floors
and several hundred computers.
If the router is configured for port forwarding, the IP setting is set
to public in your profile, the tester returns successful results, you
are ready to try the system for
on-demand pc remote control
over the Internet.
Please let me know what happens. If you need a volunteer, send me an
email when you are ready and I will login using your viewer id on
our homepage to start a on-demand remote
support session
on the web. You'll have remote control control of my
computer for desktop support. I have a very high resolution on my screen so I
know my desktop will not fit into your viewer - you'll have to scroll.
For pc remote control
through the web using our
on-demand
remote support solution
online,
I recommend a screen resolution of 1024x768 on your system as most
"regular" users have their screens set at 800x600 or lower. Again,
this is just a recommendation since you may not be comfortable or
used to a 1024x768 screen res..
