logmein hack. Does it work?

jopageri · 08-26-2009, 05:37 AM

So I have seen some posts talking about using logmein through WII Internet channel to access your computer. Has anyone used this? I tried but I couldn't get to step 10 (see below) on the Wii. I waited for around 10 minutes, but the page didn't load. Any advice, and/or other ideas how to access computer files on the television?

Thanks

16. Enter your access code(password) and log in.
17. Click on "Preferences".

19. Set the the Default Remote Control from Active-X to HTML.
20. You may want to adjust a few other settings.
21. Click APPLY.
22. Click DISCONNECT.
23. Look in your system tray to the right of the taskbar. Does it have the LogMeIn icon in it? If it does, go to step 24. If it's not there, try steps 4-22 again.
24. To enable the keyboard for the Wii, click START->All Programs-> Accessories->Accessibility->On Screen Keyboard

NOTE: You must do step 24 each time you want to connect for a keyboard, but you only have to do the other steps ONCE.

Connecting with your Wii (You must do this every time you want to connect on your Wii.)

1. Make sure your computer is on and LogMeIn is in your system tray.
2. Go to the Internet Channel Trial Version.
3. Go to the "type a web address" screen.
4. Type: logmein.com
5. * Save this site as a favorite for fast access.
6. Log in.
7. Go to My Computers.
8. Click on your computer name.
9. Let it connect to it. Be patient, this may take a little while.
10. Type in your access code.
11. Wait...
12. Click GO on Remote Control.
13. It might say that you are connecting with the same computer to this computer and it'll show a picture that won't happen on your Wii. Click Connect anyway.
14. This might be because your Wii connects through your router (or USB Connector) to access the Internet, and your computer has the same IP.
15. It'll load your computer screen!!!!!!!!!

I do not think it is a good idea to have a web site monitor your PC.

You maybe able to set up your PC with the Desktop remote settings and just us your Wii Opera broswer.
