Hamachi is really nothing but a vpn, but it can usually work through firewalls. I say usually because a good network admin can prevent it but most small networks will allow it right through. So no, hamachi by itself does not allow you to "take control". Remote Desktop or VNC can work over the Hamachi VPN and that allows the remote control. GoToMyPC also allows remote access. It is kind of like Hamachi and VNC rolled into one. My personal preference is Hamachi and Remote Desktop for the best speed, but that only works where the other person does not need to see what is going on since the other end CANNOT see what is going on. Hamachi and VNC is my second choice. I do have a client where THEIR client dictated that they use GoToMyPC and so I do use that as well, but I don't like it. John W.
