Re: Next step for RDP...

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

I think it is more a case of having a "real world" ip address for the
machine you want to connect to and the using RDP to connect to that address

I've been using Remote Desktop happily for years on 4 computers, including
a laptop, all with XP Pro and on my "studio" network - still called
"Workgroup"
Now I want to take the big step of trying to connect to the studio
computers from the laptop via the internet, from far far away - what do I
do - just plug the laptop into an internet socket and pray? - if only! I
really have zero knowledge of domains etc
Can anyone enlighten me?!
