Thanks for your quick response. I'm still unable to get anything going. You
were indeed correct - I was referring to WIN98 SE, but my fingers refuse pre
2k data.
Scenario: Home PC =WIN98SE, to be left on and accessed. Lets call it
"desktop". The laptop is the one that will be accessing the home "desktop"
pc. Lets call it "notebook". They are part of a workgroup at home called
"home".
The computer name that goes in the desktop RDC box would be??? I have tried
both names. The drop down box shows the + home group but will not break down
any further. The "notebook" pc would contain the name ??? I tried the drop
down box, a box opened and error message to the effect "it does not contain
any terminal servers". All that is essential to be typed in, then, is the
computer and user name??? As one might not be part of a domain or have a
logon password. Incidently, I am using a DLINK 624 wireless router. I have
never had any problem with firewalls. I continue to avoid installing SPII. I
did once and it really wasnt pleasant.
I could not see how to uninstall this program, though I didnt dig. I found
one reference that advised to use the New Connection Wizard to set up a VPN.
I hadnt seen anything anywhere else, and my address is dynamic, so that might
be a problem.
If this is Rick, I read your home page and you are very funny man.
I'd appreciate any help or insight you provide. As Deniro said, " I know a
thing or two about a thing or two" but this aint that.
Thanks
Dale
