I want to establish a Remote Desktop connection via Teamviewer. Why I had chosen Teamviewer is because of it ease of use. I want to know that does this is perfect if there are users whom I want to connect on MAC or Linux systems. And doest the ID which I provide to the user for Remote desktop changes on each new connection. Thanks in advance.

There are several solutions for remote access via Internet to another computer. The most simple, most effective and quickest way to access a remote computer is certainly TeamViewer. With TeamViewer You go take power from your Mac, control of the computer to others via the Internet. The best thing of this software is that it is very easy to use also.

In Teamviewer it goes without saying that you can take control of a remote computer if the owner agrees. This also will provide both IP address and a password (dynamic or pre-established) in order to take control of his computer remotely. Without these elements, you can not take control of a remote computer. Just add up your account and the user on the other side will allow you access for the same.

Some of the best advantages of TeamViewer are that it is easy to use on both ends. It also supports file transfers. You can also use the Presentation. In this case, you take more control of another computer, but you show that this time your own screen to another user. It sees the screen displayed on a computer. He can not control it, but you can make a presentation software, file, etc. The user becomes a spectator of your computer.

Why I too recommend you to use TeamViewer is that it can works through firewalls. So here you does not need to disable your Firewall and then get access. The second best thing about it is that is free. And it works on many platforms. It will work simply if your friend on the other end has MAC and you are working on Windows. The ID, it does not change, it will always be the same for this computer, this is not the IP address of your Mac, but a login ID on the servers TeamViewer.

To connect run the software and on the left side of this window you can see two pieces of information ID s the unique identifier for that computer, and a Password. By default, the password is dynamic, but it is possible to define a static password and pre-defined preferences in the software which is much more convenient for frequent connections.
