Hi
I think this explanation is the best I've seen yet! I'm
trying to connect my laptop (running XP Pro) to my home PC
(running XP Pro) on broadband. Being new to networking,
Remote Desktop seems so hard !
How do I know the computer name to enter when connecting
to the remote computer? I'll connect via internet (to far
for LAN) so what does "host name" mean? On broadband, I
don't have a static IP address assume that to be irelevant.
Thanks a lot.
