hi, was just wondering if anybody could help me with remote desktop
the computer that i want to connect to is part of a home LAN
connections and my computer has the wireless device, whilst the mian
computer in the house is connected to the router, so my first question
is this....will i be able to connect to my computer through RDC?
i have xp pro and have set remote desktop briefly before, so much so
that i can connect to my computer from the main one in the house by
simply typing in the name of the computer. However, when i trie to
outside of my LAN, even when i typed in the i.p. address of my
computer it wouldn't work :(, any help would be great. Many thanks in
advance.
