remote access
My wife and I have two separate businesses that are on the same network using
XP Professional operating system. We both want to be able remote access our work computer from our home desktop that has Windows Vista Home edition. I'm assuming that I must upgrade the home computer to Windows Home Premium.......but will I be able to get remote access to both work computers? Thanks!

remote access
If you want to use RDC, upgrade to Vista business or above. Or use free remote access software like VNC.

Vista Home (client) Remote Desktop to XP Pro (host) should work. But not vice-versa. You need Business version to host.
Assuming that Home edition includes the RD program, which I would think it should. I can use Remote Desktop on my Vista Home Premium to my old XP Pro computer just fine.

remote access
Install UltraVNC ( www.ultravnc.com ) on all systems. The ones at work
will be setup as the "servers" and the system you're using to access the "server" will be the "viewer". Using UltraVNC is like sitting at the keyboard of the remote system and has a lot of features - and it's absolutely free. I use it on a number of clients and family systems and it works like a champ. You may have to open ports 5800 and 5900 on your routers. Read the instructions (separate download as I recall). Bob S. "paul L." paul wrote in message ...

If your not using the Java VNC client then you only need TCP Port 5900 open on any firewall. Of course you could use an alternate high number port for a bit of added security through obscurity. Personally I always run VNC (any flavor) or Remote Desktop through a VPN or SSH tunnel for added security. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
