Re: Remote Desktop Connection

I have computer A at 1 location and computer B at a different location, not
on LAN, we both use broadband/DSL and I was wondering if Computer A can
connect to computer B via the internet connection?
If so could someone be so kind as to refer me to an article as to how to
make the connection possible.

Thank you in advance.

Steve

Sure you can do that. See this page for help. Be aware that Computer B must be running XP Pro/MCE or Vista Ultimate/Business/Enterprise in order to access it via Remote Desktop.
