help! why cannot remote connect XP laptop to Vista Home PC?
I knew Vista Home does not allow remote desktop connection to it.
I followed some online hack and install some Terminal Service hack file. It worked when my laptop Windows XP sits close to the Vista HOME PC, when the laptop is using wireless and the Vista is using Internet LAN connection. I made sure my Kaspasky Internet Security Firewall is open for RDP port. But the moment when I move out of my home, and bring the laptop to an outside network, I cann't connect to the Vista Home PC anymore. Any thoughts? If RDP to Vista is not an option. What is the next best remote connection software that allows smooth file transform and clipboard transfer, as seamless as RDP? Thanks! |

Why can you not configure the router?
If you read the router user guide from the router's CD or from the manufacturers Website you should be able to reset the router to its defaults so you can log on to it from your PC. What make/model router do you have? "Bruce Chambers" wrote in message ... LunaMoon wrote: Okay! I have no way of configuring the router. Any other next best remote control software?

Generally logmein will work , with no router configuration, because it uses
standard web traffic ports. Available here https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp?lang=en but it does mean trusting access to your PC to a 3rd party. Also live mesh from microsoft http://www.mesh.com will work in a similar way. I have used it to successfully connect to Windows Vista x64 Home Premium across the internet, with no router configuration. regards, Malcolm. "Patrick Keenan" wrote in message ...

Okay! I have no way of configuring the router.
Any other next best remote control software? It's your router, in your home, why can't you configure it? Are you interested in remote controlling your home PC console session? If so then look into something like logmein.com And don't shot-gun questions to a dozen different groups. Pick one. It's just rude otherwise. -Bill Kearney |

You may also wish to consider that you are now in violation of your
license for Windows Vista by hacking the version you have to have to gain access to features you have not paid for or are licensed to use. Frankly, with your disregard for licensing and paying for what you use, you might have well as just stolen (aka downloaded) a version of Ultimate Edition instead. No point in helping the man, right? I mean, it's far easier to just pontificate about licensing. Good thing others are actually interested in being helpful, unlike you. |
