Hi folks,

Does anyone have any software recommendations for controlling one PC by another over the Internet?

Netmeeting is just proving to be so problematic, and doesn't cope well with any connection problem.

I am aware of VNC, but would like to find something that's a little more straightforward to use (and that my parents can cope with installing).

So I'm looking for something simple to use, that just does the job.

Any ideas?

TIA

Edit: Just to emphasise, this needs to be used by a very non-savvy computer user at the other end i.e. my parents, so I can help them troubleshoot problems with their PC over the Internet. Finding IP addresses etc. is just beyond their capacity, so something similar in manner of connection an IM client would probably be good (or something they can cope with).
