Re: Remote Desktop and VPN

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



When the VPN is connected between the two PCs, you need to use the "remote"
PC's IP address and not the Internet address.

Also, remote desktop does not allow access to user accounts with "blank"
passwords. However, there is a "group policy" setting which will turn this
"blocking" off.
