Issue connecting to WHS 2011 with LogMeIn

[pcdoc 114]

I RDP when I am inside my network but on the road or via mobile device I use Logmein. I am in no way saying that RDP is not secure only that when using other peoples computers, computers on a corporate network, etc., that under those conditions it is more secure and certainly more flexible. If you have not tried it, you should. It is a great program for free.

ah, gotchya. I completely agree about the using other peoples' computers part. I don't do that so it didn't occur to me. Thanks for the perspective.

my reasons for using logmein are essentially the same as pcdoc's.

 

Ok, I disconnected all other clients on the home LAN (wired/wireless) and still got the same issue.

 

One thing i did notice that if from a fresh boot of WHS2011, I remote in using logmein and leave idle for some time it disconnects (as expected), but then goes into this same loop of 'no active users' and cant send the ctl alt dlt command....

LogMeIn will act differently under different browsers. That looks like the FireFox interface.

I get the exact same results in IE - its driving me nuts

Hi All,

 

just a quick update, it seems that re-installing active controls in the browser has done the trick.

 

For ref I did not change any logmein or server settings and i was able to use logmein to connect to win7 machines in the same browser which is strange, but hey....

 

Case closed.

Nice that you got it working after all this time. Perserverance pays off again, baby!
