Re: VPN-VNC...Connect to home network on the go?
One of the pc's I'd like connection to is XP Home...So I have installed tight vnc on it to connect to it with my laptop.
I'm somewhat new to this and I'm sure I'm missing something. Will it work w/XP Home? |

Re: VPN-VNC...Connect to home network on the go?
Which OS do you have? I have windows vista home where remote desktop is disabled, I tried all kind of hacks to enable it but had no luck, I'm using logmein which works but its a little slow, I wish somebody can help me find a solution how to enable remote desktop in windows vista home.

Setup is reasonably straightforward on the computer but can be a little more complicated getting through firewalls and opening the correct ports on your modem. RDP Client (the computer you're connecting from) is already on all XP versions and can be downloaded from Microsoft for pre XP OS's. Here's a link to a tutorial on how to configure remote desktop: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...7-6119547.html If you just need access to your XP Home Edition computer, may want to try Logmein free: https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp Also, this is a link from another forum member about another access site but I have no information on it: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...35&postcount=1 |

I use the VNC viewer here http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html . Never tried this one but looks just as good: http://-net-vnc-viewer.en.softonic.com/pocketpc . You will still need to install a VNC server on your home machine. This is easy enough. Go to http://www.uvnc.com/ and use there severs. I think UltraVNC is the best. I have used nearly all the VNC apps out. Next if you are running any sort of firewall you will need to open ports for the VNC app. If your already running it on your laptop then you shouldnt have to do much else.

That's exactly what I'm looking for...I just realized my phone already had RDP...Now to figure out how to get into my network that's on Cox.

I think this is the answer I'm looking for. Will this be secure from outside my personal network. I haven't connected to any of my machines from outside my network yet, not certain if that's possible with the current configuration I have...will see I guess. |
