Step-by-Step Guide

1. Download the free version of TeamViewer here. There are two versions of the software, one is an installer and the other is a portable version where you can extract in your USB stick and have it with you everywhere you go. You can download the portable version in the download section of TeamViewer’s website.
2. Install the software using the default settings. When asked how you will use the software, select personal/non-commercial use.
3. Accept all license agreements.
4. You will now be prompted of the Installation type that you want. As for me, I used Normal for my laptop and Start automatically with windows for my desktop. The reason for this was merely because I usually use my laptop to control other pc’s. If you have chosen to install the software in Start automatically with windows mode, you need to supply a password, remember this password cause you will need this when connecting to the remote computer .
5. Click continue until you are done installing the software. Once done, install it to the other pc. REMEMBER: When windows or any firewall software will ask to grant permission to teamviewer.exe to access the net, ALWAYS select ALLOW.
6. Choose whichever pc you want to use as remote pc and the controlling pc. Just make sure that both are running TeamViewer.
7. When you first start TeamViewer, you will find that it will generate an ID for you. This ID number is quite unique since it will not change, no matter where you will go. So take note of this number. As for the password, you will have there predefined if you have installed the software to run with Windows or it will contain something else if you have installed is using the Normal mode.
8. In one of the pc’s that you have, open TeamView from Start then All Programs.
9. A window will open. Type the ID of the other computer (the one that you want to control) in the ID field of Create session column.
10. Select Remote support and click Connect to partner. When asked for a password, type the Password you encoded during the setup process or if your used Default installation, you can see the password of the pc below its ID.
11. If everything went well, then you should see that other computer’s desktop in you monitor. Sometimes, it takes a while for the remote computer’s desktop to be displayed, be patient.

It is that easy to remotely control a pc using TeamViewer with no wireless router and modem configuration! Enjoy!
