How to configure teamviewer to start your computer remotely. How to connect to your home computer using TeamViewer
In this article we will look at how TeamViewer works. If suddenly, someone has never heard of it, then this is quite powerful tool to implement remote technical support, using remote desktop. Let's try to cover it interesting opportunities, of which there are quite a lot.
Installing TeamViewer.
First, download full version from the official website (it can be viewed on the program page). On at the moment TeamViewer 11 is available. At the first installation step, select Install to manage this computer remotely. If you plan to use remote printing or VPN, then click show additional options(although they can be configured after installation). It is important to note that it is unlikely that you will be able to use this program for commercial purposes for free, since it is tracked quite quickly. Also, if you plan to use TeamViewer on a server OS, then this is also not allowed free license, but it is possible to install TeamViewer Host on the server.
At the end of the installation, write a name for the computer and come up with a password, then register account TeamViewer.
Setting up a remote desktop connection.
After registration, your contacts in TeamViewer will appear to the right of the main window.
To add a remote computer to your contacts, click on the + icon in the contacts window.
Enter here the computer ID, its name and password, into additional settings can be set individual parameters connections. To connect to remote computer double-click on it in the contact list, or click right click mouse select the connection option.
To go to settings in top menu Click additional, then options. In the main settings you can configure the connection mode to this computer, Wake-on-Lan function, as well as link your computer to your account.
To connect to a computer via local network There are three modes:
- Deactivated - connections occur only via the Internet, through TeamViewer servers.
- Accept - connections are accepted both over the local network and over the Internet, that is, to connect you can use both the computer ID and IP address on the local network.
- Accept exclusively - means that connections to the computer are allowed only from the local network; instead of ID, you must use the IP address on the local network.
The Wake on Lan feature allows you to turn on your computer remotely. To use the Wake-on-Lan function, linking to an account is required. To enable Wake on Lan you must specify an IP address or domain name, as well as the port to which the “magic” packet will be sent. You can read more about setting up Wake on Lan in this article.
Once you have configured everything correctly, you can check the operation of Wake on Lan from another computer. To do this, you must also install the full TeamViewer version and link it to the same account to which the computer that needs to be turned on is linked. In the contacts window we find the right computer and right-click on it, there we will see the wake button.
Remote control of a computer from Android.
To control your computer from an Android device, you need to install it from Google Play program TeamViewer-remote access (not to be confused with TeamViewer QuickSupport). In the program, enter your username and password for your account and a list of your devices appears.
Opposite computers there is a button for connecting; mobile devices do not have this button. Currently management mobile device from a mobile device is not supported. For ease of use, if the Internet connection is not stable and often breaks, it is worth disabling the computer lock at the end of the session so as not to enter the password again each time. To do this, click on the gear button and select the option to enable blocking, then click disable.
Controlling Android from a computer.
To remotely control an Android device from a computer, you must install from Google Play TeamViewer host program.
After installation, you need to link the device to your account, enter your username and password. Then, on a computer linked to the same account, in the list TeamViewer contacts This Android device will appear. Having connected to it, we immediately find ourselves in the remote control section. If we see a black screen, then you need to press left button mouse over it to turn on the display and unlock it.
If suddenly the desktop is not displayed, then perhaps you need to install an add-on from Google Play for your device. For devices on the MKT platform from less common brands, an add-on from Lenovo is suitable, and super-user privileges may also be required.
UPD: IN new version Mobile device control from a mobile device is available.
After installing the program, you must configure uncontrolled access. If you want to access this computer in the future, click Yes and select Done. Then we set up uncontrolled access. To do this, click on the corresponding icon:
In addition, at this point you can transfer files. Next you can connect to the specified computer. But to do this, you need to enter another password.
Uncontrolled access. How to manage and configure
Thanks to the program, a computer from anywhere in the world can connect to your computer. TeamViewer is not tied to an address at all, so connecting any computer to yours will not be a hindrance. You will see this in your program.
Let's say you want to connect to another computer. To do this you need to ask your partner for data. This is your login and password. If the ID is correct, it will ask for a password. Your partner should dictate the appropriate password to you or send you via email. If you did everything correctly, you will connect to your friend’s computer.
Remote control computer- a convenient function that allows you to help solve problems that arise with your computer. One of the simplest programs that allows you to use this service is the program TeamViewer — TeamWeaver.
As soon as users of the Runet do not call this program - and Tim Viewer, And Tim Weaver and even manage to call Team Weaver. But that doesn't matter to us. It is important for us that it works as expected and fulfills its direct functions. But this is exactly what we will talk about next.
Remote computer control.
What's happened ? This is the control of one computer using another computer via the Internet. It is also called remote access. This is very convenient, for example, when providing computer help newbie users. For example, I often had to help my friends, solve problems with the computer, via the phone. And this is not very convenient. You tell where to go and where to point based on your memory, since you don’t see what’s happening on the monitor at that moment.
And thanks to remote control, you get full access to the computer via the Internet and on your monitor, in the window you see the desktop of the controlled computer, just as if you were sitting at that computer right now. You see with your own eyes, almost in real time, what is happening on that computer. The speed (timeliness) of displaying performed actions depends on the speed of the Internet connection. Thus, using remote computer control you can configure any programs, configure system security and much more.
I plan to open a service on the site in the near future remote administration. This service will be paid, so I’m not entirely sure yet whether there will be, let’s say, a demand for this service. But it's worth a try.
Tim Viewer is a program for remote computer access.
Settings remote access to the computer using the program teamweaver a very simple and not troublesome task. To do this, of course, you must first download the program Tim Weaver. Tim Viewer It has two installation modes. The first mode is the mode standard installation, and the second is like a portable version, without installation, with direct launch of the program. I'll start with the standard installation.
Run the downloaded file TeamViewer_Setup_en.exe
A window will open where we need to select a mode.
We select, as agreed, the first mode, that is, we put the switch in "Install" and click Next. Next, in the window that opens, leave a checkmark on the first line, namely “ Personal/non-commercial use«.
Click again Next and we see a window where we need to choose whether we will use TeamWeaver oh later. What we mean here is a function of the program that gives you the ability to use a password (you set the password yourself) get full access to your computer from anywhere in the world where there is Internet. Here you are free to choose for yourself. Having selected the option you need, click next and here we indicate “ Full access(recommended)". In the next window, you can turn on nothing and immediately click Next. The rest of the installation is standard. At the end, this window will appear - main work environment programs Tim Viewer.
Now about the second mode. There's not much to say about him. The difference here is that you simply immediately launch the program without installation and the main program window immediately opens.
Let's see what the main program window consists of.
It is divided into two tabs: Remote control And Conference. The first tab on the left side displays Your ID and a little lower password. To connect to another computer, you need to Partner ID indicate ID the computer that on that computer is indicated in the field Your ID. That's all. In the window you will see the desktop of the connected computer. The password is updated after each connection session, that is, when next connection the password will be different. Below you can see the field Personal password
. This field is only available when installed program. This field allows you to create your account on the program server, with which you can know "Computer name" and password, connect to your computer through any computer, provided you have an Internet connection. A list of all computers to which you have access will be displayed on the right side of the main program window.
There you can add the computers you connect to most often.
I have not tried the second tab in the main window of the program, and I can only guess about its capabilities. But from the name “Conference” you can understand that it connects several participants to one session. If you have a webcam and microphone, you can conduct video conferences, demonstrations, and training sessions. A conference can include up to 25 participants.
And finally, as for security... The developers assure that all connections are in Tim Weaver carried out using fully encrypted data channels.
I guess I have nothing more to say about this program. Later I will publish an article about another such program for remote access to a computer, which is completely free. Therefore, I advise you to subscribe to the project’s articles so as not to miss them.
Afterword:
In this article you learned about what's happened and how to use the remote access program TeamViewer — TeamWeaver.
Those who need to either fix, correct or configure something in the system, if something doesn’t work out for you, you can contact me. I will help you by connecting remotely to your computer. The service is paid, the price is negotiable, depending on the work performed.
That's all! I look forward to your comments.

How to install Teamviewer
We note that this manual is not intended to provide a comprehensive description of all the functions of the Teamviewer program, but provides instructions on how to install it, get started and learn how to use the main functions.
Installation
First you need to download the file with the program. To do this, follow the provided link to the official website. A file called TeamViewer_Setup_ru.exe will be downloaded to your computer and weighs 4.66 MB. To start installation you need to open it.
First, you will see a launch window where the program will offer the choice of installing the program or running it without installation to temporarily control the remote computer.
We suggest selecting “Install”:
Since we decided to install the program for the first option, there is no need to change anything else in the second window, since if you change the parameters here, TeamViewer will force you to purchase a licensed version.
The rules will now appear License Agreement. If you want to practice your English, then you can read it, if not, then just mark “I Accept” and “Agree”:
A choice will now appear. If you select the first option, after installation is complete it will simply launch TeamViewer program, if the second option, then the remote access settings window will appear.
Click the “Done” button that appears.
The installation progress window will now appear. You can click the "Details" button to see them.
When the installation is completely finished, you will see standard view open program:
At this point, the installation is complete and TeamViewer is ready to use.
Now, to allow remote access to the program, the specialist must provide an ID consisting of 9 digits and a password consisting of 4 digits.
Settings
Now let's look at the basic settings of the TeamViewer menu.
For TeamViewer connections doesn't need any special settings, but some of them allow you to more efficiently and conveniently use all the possibilities of accessing your computer. The toolbar is located, as in most programs, at the top of the window. This is where everyone is required settings TeamViewer programs.
The first menu item “Connection” implies three options:
The “Invite a Partner” tab opens mail client, which generates an email with a link to download TeamViewer inserted into it. This is an automatic invitation in which you only need to indicate the recipient’s email. The letter must be supplemented with an ID number and an access password.
Tab "Configure uncontrolled access". The wizard configures the program so that the computer can be accessed at any time, even when there is no user present.
The “Exit TeamViewer” tab means you can exit the program.
The next menu is called "Advanced"
It has a section “Options”, which, in fact, contains all the program settings. In the window that opens, you can set the parameters for TeamViewer.
The "Basic" tab allows you to set the user name. It must be entered in the “Display Name” tab field.
You can set the program to autorun and show a shortcut. To do this, just tick the boxes corresponding to these parameters.
The “Network Settings” tab contains connection settings. The program uses UDP by default, and changing anything here without knowing the operating mechanisms network protocols This is undesirable, especially since for almost all users the program runs on standard settings without any additional interventions.
Just below is a tab that allows you to connect other users via the local network. Standard settings imply disabled access, but if necessary, this can be easily changed by selecting a circle of users or allowing everyone who has this program installed.
The next tab contains security settings.
In particular, there is a permanent access password that can be set using Windows or program. These security measures allow you to allow access to your computer to users who have the required level of access to the system and the required account.
Next, you can select the optimal password length: 4, 6, 10 characters. It is possible to disable the password altogether, but this action is not advisable. Below are the black and whitelist, where you can specify a list of identifiers.
Other parameters can be adjusted according to your own preferences.
Version without installation
The official website also offers to download a version without installation for very fast connection with a remote computer.
Then you just need to download the file and run it. The following window will appear:
Now tell the user the ID and password that he must enter on his computer. After this, the opponent has the opportunity to remotely help or demonstrate something on his computer.
