Remote Desktop - Help!
Hi, I'm trying to enable Remote Desktop in Vista. When I go to Remote Settings the window only seems to have the top half filled in. Meaning that I see only 1 checkbox "Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer". There is no radio buttons on the bottom half as there is in all the examples on the web. My windows firewall is off. I am running McAfee. Help please?? |

You cannot use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to remote (host)
computers running the following editions of Windows Vista: Windows Vista Starter Windows Vista Home Basic Windows Vista Home Basic N Windows Vista Home Premium However, any edition of Windows Vista can be running on your computer (the one you want to connect from).

Am I missing something? Vista Home Premium. From here I can VPN out to my XP box at work with no problems. But from my XP box at work the VPN connects, but the Remote Desktop never comes up. |

I set up the server using this URL: http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.or...P/PPTPVPN.html In Step #6 where you enter the IP's, I'm assuming that the "FROM" is referring to my router IP and the "TO" is the IP I want to give the incoming client. Any just to give you an idea: Cable Moden -- Router -- Vista Box I did forward port 1723 to the Vista box. |

You can't do it, install UltraVNC instead, it's better anyway,
http://www.uvnc.com/ Other sill suggest teamviwer, personally I've not found that to be any use at all but it might work for you... Please post back if you find the solution, it helps others. Thanks.
