I am looking for a good way to remote into my office computer.  I have a static IP and was trying to get Windows 7 built in system to work, but am having trouble getting around the router. 

Because I couldn't get it to work, I started using LogMeIn and it seems fine -- but thought I would float the subject here to see what some people smarter than me think about it.

Logmein is pretty good software. They used to charge for access after a trial period. But now I see they offer a free trimmed down version.

Using remote desktop connection from another windows PC will always be the smoothest. Most common issues with connecting to your PC (you have it easy since you have a static IP) are:
- Port is blocked by Windows Firewall
- Port is not forwarded by router
- Security for your username is not set to allow remote connections

Check those and see if you can get it up and running since it really is the best option!

I can remote in if I am wireless on the same network with the Win7 software and the IP, but not if I try it from home, so I am guessing my problem is in the router.  Any suggestion for sorting that?

What type of router? Just log into the administration console and look for port forwarding or port triggering and add the correct ports for RDC.
