Vista Drive Redirection in Remote Desktop Web Connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a remote desktop web connection that will allow a group
of laptops running a mixture of XP Professional and Vista Professional to
access a shared office desktop running XP Professional. I need to be able to
share disk drives from the laptops so that I can drag and drop files (drive
redirection?).

I've been able to connect the XP laptops, and share all of the necessary
drives by hosting the desktop's IP address through DynDNS.

When I try to make the same connection using a Vista laptop, I can connect
and control the XP desktop using a Vista laptop just fine. However, I am
unable to share the disk drives.

Is it possible to share the disk drives from a Vista machine to an XP host
through Remote Desktop Web Connection? If so, how would I go about enabling
that feature?

We aren't able to set up a VPN connection for the Vista computers, because
the VPN software for our Netgear router doesn't support Windows Vista. We're
a small company, with limited resources, and I'm not an IT professional, so
I'm way over my head here.

I'm not sure if this helps, but when on the office network, I can connect
through the Remote Desktop Module using any of the laptops. I can control
the XP desktop and share drives from the Vista and XP laptops with no problem.


Thanks for any help you can give me!
