Preventing www.logmein.com from disconnecting

I use logmein.com for a lot of my trading.

I notice using the free version that if you don't do something on the computer logmein will disconnect

Is there something that I can do on the computer to prevent this?

 

Try posting on the logmein.com forums.

Don't wanna get a blackout,56.

 

ha ha ha. Someone already posted that in the logmein forum and the answer you get is to pay for the pro version. I prefer to see if I can ghetto-rig it'

 

You might want to give http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx a shot. I used to use it when i needed remote computing. It worked fantastic. Free.

 

no, you can set the timeout feature under the preferences/advanced tab. I use the free version and it will stay connected for hours. Default timeout is 20 minutes if you don't change it.

 

There is a USB Dongle that is available the when plugged in will simulate the mouse moving back and forth ever so lightly. I so it in the Cyberguys catalog but I imagine you could find it on ebay.

 

Wow that sounds great and thanks for that tip, however truthfully I'm not sure where the preferences / advanced tab is...

 

I found it

 

so are logmein and teamviewer the 2 best free options around in your opinion?

 

The thing about teamviewer that i love is that it gets around firewalls and its not a website so it doesn't get recorded on a corporate browsing history recording program.
