Do I need to install PlanetRemote on both the remote and local computers?
No. One of the main benefits of PlanetRemote is that it only needs to be installed on the computer that you want to control from a remote location. Once installed, you can use any JAVA-enabled web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, etc., to access and control your PlanetRemote-enabled computer over the Internet from any other location in the world.
