Has anyone been able to get TeamViewer to work through a mesh network? I'm not having much luck.

I'm trying to remote control a PC running HRD with an HF rig, Signalink USB and remote control cable on it, using Teamviewer through the MESH only (no Internet).

This all works fine on my local network and from just about any location through the Internet. 

Teamviewer works through a LAN connection or any computer that has Internet surfing capability (ports 80, 443 or 5938). I've tried both NAT and Direct (not quite sure which to use), DHCP Reserved addresses, forwarded all 3 ports for the 2 pc's. It tries to connect but then errors out with unknown reason.

Testing now to see if I can get it to work between two pc's on the same node. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Dennis

Update: IT WORKS and MORE!  

I finally got Teamviewer to work through the Mesh nodes!

No special configuration in BBHN (default 5-node Direct). Teamviewer justs need to have "Incoming Lan Connections" on the General Tab, set to "ALLOW". When your network is  LAN only (with no Internet), Teamviewer will show the IP address of your PC. No portforwarding to configure, no rules, no tunneling. Just some clean up on the leftover PC network configuration (DNS & DHCP) after changing from wifi to LAN.

I disabled my wifi adapters on my test PCs and did an "ipconfig /flushdns", "ipconfig /release" and "ipconfig/renew" to clean up the net configuration on the WIN7 PCs. After that, it worked flawlessly! I think the problem was that Windows (7 & Vista) gets confused when you start changing network configurations. Now I can remote control any PC (whether it's XP, Vista, Win7 or Linux) on the Mesh.

If you add Internet to your Mesh, it will display a 9 digit number or if you are using the online web management, you can assign a name to each PC. You can connect to remote PCs using the 9 digit number, IP address or Name.

The main objective was to be able to control an HF rig at my home from the EOC. I can connect to the PC at home (the radio and PC have to be on) with a connection to a Mesh node (Internet for normal use). Once connected to the remote PC I can bring up HRD (v.5.X, the last free version), activate the VOIP on both PCs (I keep the mic muted in VOIP on the PC I'm working from. If you don't, it will key the transmitter VOX). With a headset/boom mic, I transmit & receive, change bands, frequencies and do anything I would do with HRD, sitting in my shack.

Added benefits of Teamviewer 9 besides being free: It has built in Chat, VOIP, Video, file sharing and of course remote control! One free application that does a whole lot.

I would really be interested in knowing how your remote control project is advancing.  I am attempting to do something similar, but I want to remote control a computer that is running 2meter packet.  Got the TNC on the way, and the mesh is working, just have to load a newer version of Teamspeak.  Thanks for what you have posted so far.
