Great!! does it matter what version of Vista I use? Thanks alot Remote Desktop Connectivity is a feature of Vista Business and Ultimate. If you have connected to work before using RDP, it should work under Vista. Some companies require that you connect to their intranet or firewall with a VPN or SSL network connection first. |
