The default gateway is http://www.totalrc.net. Once on the home page of the gateway enter your host id into the remote control box(located in the upper left corner of the page). When controlling a remote computer through a web browser the following emulation is used: left button mouse click normal left button click for left button mouse double click Ctrl key + normal left button click for right button mouse click Alt key + normal left button click for keyboard input click on small keyboard image in the remote control panel. It will pop-up a window where you can type and send data to host   More Help How it works? Host computer runs totalrc.exe, a software agent to enable remote control. Client takes remote control/view of the Host through a Web browser. Gateway provides communications between Host and Client. In order to provide remote control client opens Gateway's URL in the Web Browser. The default gateway is http://www.totalrc.net. This gateway is free for all users. If Host computer is not behind the firewall the program can also work in direct mode, bypassing the Gateway. In this case Client specifies Host's URL in the Web Browser. Installation. Before installing the program you need to obtain your host id from the gateway. If you are going to use the default gateway point your web browser to: http://www.totalrc.net and follow the instructions to obtains host id. To install the program unzip all program files in a directory on your hard drive and run totalrc -install [start-up arguments(see below)]. This will install the program as a service on Windows NT and create a pseudo-service (restart on machine reboot) on Windows 95/98. The -install also launches the program. To launch the installed program manually if it was stopped run: totalrc.exe without arguments(the arguments will be picked up from the set of installation arguments). To uninstall the program run: totalrc -uninstall. Security. Client is authenticated at the Host Computer by its user id and password. Also a host id MUST be obtained at www.totalrc.net. This host id will be used to identify your host on the internet.(If your computer is behind the firewall its internal IP address will most likely not be unique). It is used as a mandatory start-up argument for totalrc.exe. This beta version of the program is not using any encryption methods other than basic64 encoding. The program is capable of encrypting all data transmissions and we intend to turn it on in the release version for US and Canadian users, leaving the international version of the program unencrypted due to US export restrictions.
