Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Just a heads up that logmein.com has their plugin for N8X0 up and it works like a charm. I am logged into my Mac and I also logged into my PC with no problem.

you can download it here:
https://secure.logmein.com/labs.asp

Need to access the site from the N8X0 device to do it.

Enjoy!

I am typing this from my N810 connected to my windows tablet via logmein and everything works extremely well. The fonts are quite hard to read at default resolution but you can easily switch to 800 by 600 which fits the tablet quite well. This is a good way to connect for those who don't want to mess with router settings and the like.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

This is a killer app for me. I can basically leave my laptop home (and turned on) for some of my trips.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Am I the only one who keeps reading the domain name logmein.com as log-mein? And I'm not even German... (Maybe if I was, log mein would be such nonsense I couldn't think of it... Google translate has log -> sign?)

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

perhaps. i've always read it as log me in

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Can someone please give me an idea on what can be done with this application and what potential it could have for the n810 down the road?

I'm reading from the webpage, just not understanding

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Usually if you don't know what it is, you don't need it :D It's a rule that saved me a lot of money :)

It's a service that allows you to access your computers remotely, over the internet using other computers and now your tablet. Kind of a VNC but ones that takes care of all the network settings for you.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Very good point.....I think I'll go find another thread on the forum that won't have any remote chance of ruining me financially :p

Thanks for the translation!!

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

So does LogMeIn work with Linux host or only Windows on a PC? The website states PC and Mac which doesn't really tell me much. Thanks.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

very good app
just the screen size is so small its useless for control
its good to see if something has finished doing i.e. tablet video converter

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Windows and OSX only (when I checked it).

Though if you need an alternative without doing it directly through OpenVPN or SSHing you could use Hamachi (which has a Linux client) and then VNC into your computer from that.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Oh, I also read LogMeIn as LogMein, and I'm not German either.

Heres an alternative to LogMeIn and Hamachi:

Build a Soekris; install lightweight OpenBSD on it; use SSH (+ S/Key) + PFauth to authenticate and establish IPsec or VPN with client. From there you can do anything. You can use RDP over the VPN. You can log in on your asterisk server. You can use VNC (although its slow). You can use telnet. You can use FTP. You can forward ports too as part of the PFauth.

No need for proprietary 3rd parties like Hamachi or LogMeIn.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

This has never been critical for me so I haven't invested time in setting up ssh/vnc combo.

Central management of all the desktops (work/home) is really the value proposition with services like this one. Too bad it doesn't support Linux.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

You can run RDP server on *NIX using xrdp. It uses X11 -> VNC -> RDP. If your Linux server is fast enough it can handle this, and VNC goes over loopback, so that won't lag the connection.

Keep in mind RDP usually doesn't support encryption.

You can also use NoMachine (NX) on the *NIX server, and use a NX client on your N8x0.

Plus the suggestions I provided here above.

However, Hamachi and LogMeIn are easier 'quick and dirty' solutions :)

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

Yeah, I tend to rely on Hamachi since I have trouble setting up my own VPN and SSH servers (and getting them through the router and all that).

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - sorry for double post
 

I bought an n800 about a year ago. It was misplaced (don't ask) about 3 months ago. I've finally replaced it with an n810 (arrived today.) Immediately loaded LogMeIn on my Home PC and am very impressed with the performance of the tablet client. Dropping res. to 800x600 makes it very usable, IMO.

BIG thanks to LogMeIn and HAVA for taking notice of the potential of these tablets!

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

I found it slow to connect to my Vista PC. Perhaps i'm using n800 on the same LAN as my PC.
The window on n800 is refreshing each time i click on something, and it takes a really long time to finish downloading the vista screen on n800.
Did you get same behavior? is there something to do to make things work faster than that?

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

You're not using the plugin, but the automatic fallback option of logmein - the static html version of the client. (It is easy to tell: the dinamic plugin has a black toolbar at the top, the static version is grey).

If it is correctly installed (see application manager / show installed applications), please check if the plugin is enabled in your browser: menu / tools / components: there should be shockwave flash, default plugin, and logmein.

If it still does not work, you can ask for help on nokia-nseries-feedback@logmein.com, they're really friendly people.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

I just tried logmein + the N800 plugin. I get the grey bar toolbar - even though plugin is installed, and enabled in components.

-I'm using the free version, maybe that's why ?

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

OMG I LOVE YOU. Checking it out now.

**Update** Got the plugin, rebooted and all, and I'm stuck in a loop. I can get to the screen where I click on 'Remote Control', but it always just takes me back to the LogMeIn.com login screen after I login to the actual host computer. Won't load up the control interface or whatever. Anyone successfully gotten this to work?

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

No, it has nothing to do with the free version. What is your setup? Stock N800 with OS2007 and the original opera browser?

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Hmm, are you on N800 or N810? Any red error messages on the HTML page?

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

BTW this site has a screenshot, this is how it should look like: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/O...ogmein-client/

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

stock n800 with os2008 - microb browser

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

I have successfully used this for about a week, it works pretty well, I have only had one or two times when I couldn't connect and that is probably more due to my flaky wireless router at home.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

I'm rocking an N810 with Diablo.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

That part is ok, it should work.

Now, maybe your client is forced to do the HTML version. After logging in into your computer, click 'preferences' on the LogMeIn html page (third menuitem on the lift, right after 'home' and 'remote control'), and there 'Remote Control Settings'. In this page you'll see the item 'Default Remote Control:' under the 'General' group. Try to set this to 'Mozilla'.

If still nothing, well, then I'm out of ideas, I suggest you to write to nokia-nseries-feedback@logmein.com . They're glad to help, really!

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Thanks. That was exactly the problem.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Success.
I had tried to change the "default remote control". The culprit was the "flashblock port for MicroB" component that I have installed. As soon as I disabled the component, logmein gave me the advanced controls.

Thanks for the help - I'll send them a mail about the problem, as it seems the two components shouldn't collide.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Must. Ask. Stoopid. Question.

Since we end up giving logmein our password, does this not mean, in effect, logmein now has access to everyone's computers since they have all those passwords?

I just had to ask... .

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Well, yes. You wouldn't want to do this unless you seriously trust them. OTOH, the principal alternative is establishing your own SSH tunnel through whatever firewall you might be behind, and running VNC over that, and keeping the whole thing secure; it's a matter of how much I trust their morals/ethics/fear-of-law vs. how much I trust my knowledge/skill/intelligence in setting up mine. (Of course, I'm a computer geek, and we've never been stereotypically conceited, overconfident and paranoid, so it's a really hard decision...) Yeah, I set up my own!


EDIT: See below, perhaps I'm indeed paranoid; I guess they use your keys, so it's clean. I still set up my own, so there!

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Logmein do not have access to the local PWD on the machine since the authentification occurs at the machine. They do have access to your account when you connect to the site but that's all.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

I don't use the service, so maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't the authentication pass through their servers, with possibility of a man-in-the-middle? That's what I thought was going on, anyway.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

well - you basically login to your account and there have access to your enabled machines (machines that are running the client). The login process is between you and the client via encrypted line. So yes - the data passes through logmein, but is encrypted from end to end.

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

OK, one more question: You get to generate your own keys, I hope? If so, I'm fully wrong and paranoid. :o

Re: Logmein.com plugin BETA for N8X0 - Works Great!
 

Logmein is great. I'm on vacation and I cant get through the hotel firewall nth VNC. Logmein has been a lifesaver for my business. I am highly dependent on remote access.
