In hopes of that the Mac Intel version of Firefox 1.5.0.2 would tap better into LogMeIn, SvenOnTech gave it a good college try today.

Logging into our account has never been an issue, only when we click on that “Remote Control” link is when all hell breaks loose. Well, when we clicked on it this time, we saw something new (after accepting the certificate); a Sun Java animation. Glory! Could it be that this would work? Ooooh man, is that the log in window? Yes it is!! Ooh, ooh, it’s logging in, it’s passing password info and — Doh! — failure. We were finally given the unfortunate message “Connection refused: Session ID cannot be resolved.” A quick Google search brought up nothing. Ugh.

Well, it looks like LogMeIn remote control via a Mac is getting close but still isn’t quite there. It is known (you have to really search hard in LogMeIn’s [LMI] forums to find this info) that Tiger doesn’t play nicely with LMI and thus this may be the reason we still did not get in. Buy hey, at least we have Parallel’s Workstation if we’re in a bind that works fine in the end for us. But still, native support for LMI would be great.
