Thread: logmein hack. Does it work?

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

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!!!!!!!!!
