I'm trying to set up remote desktop so I can work my computer from my home in NC from my beach house. I have cox cable internet connection at both locations. My home computer has Windows Vista and my beach house computer has Windows XP Pro. ...
We all know that Vista is not supporting Microsoft Netmeeting, this is bad news for our company, since it was used to connect remotely to users computers to solve basic computer problems, those kind of problems that normally floods help desks.
The advantages of Microsoft Netmeeting as remote was more than using 3rd party software for our company.
The problem is that Vista don't have Microsoft Netmeeting. Loading the previous versions does not work since it does not support remote desktop sharing.
We need something that support all versions of Microsoft Windows, Server and Workstation.
I turn off all theming when I log into my local user account through
Remote Desktop (using the RD client baked into Vista Business
Edition). When I get back to my server, I see that the Alt + Tab pop-
up is showing the Windows Classic style, not the Aero Glass style.
Everything else, however, is showing the full Aero experience. Aero
Glass remains enabled, and "Windows Vista" remains my theme. In fact,
when I manually switch into Windows Class theme, apply, then switch
into Windows Vista theme, and apply, the Live Preview Alt + Tab
doesn't go back to how it should!
I am planning on running Ultimate on my main box and Home Premium on my daughter's PC. Right now, I have the ability to remote into her PC through a hack (legal, posted on the net) that let's me remote in while she is still logged in (XP) without promoting her that someone needs to log in.
If I upgrade as stated above, will this work? Can I remote into her Home Premium box while she is logged in without any prompting? We will be a home network in a workgroup setup and not a domain.
Thanks.
My Windows Vista machine's sole purpose is to run Media Center so naturally Windows logs in using the default/only user account without a password. The thing is Remote Desktop won't allow me to remote in since the account doesn't have a password....
After many days trying to get Firefox pages to load I started using Remote Desktop to access my client servers and noticed things seem to hang when accessing anything outside the local network. Also my Smart FTP program hangs when trying to transfer files!!
I tested these issues on 2 new desktops with Vista installed and the same issues happen. The first issue seems to be with the Firefox web browser surfing sites. It loads half the page then hangs.
The second issue is with Remote Desktop. It works perfectly on a local network but when I try to connect to a remote server it loads about 1/3 of the desktop then hangs.
