Re: Is there a Remote Desktop HOW TO thread?
I would love to be able to do this option. Ive been searchin for someway to control my pc remotely. Ive been told it cant be done with vista home through remote desktop. oddly enough i been on this same path with the vnc viewer for awhile. but The phone never connects. Ive done The same thing as above, except when i put 2 colons in, i get "authentication scheme unknown". but if i use 1, it will say connecting to vnc for about 2 minutes, and finally times out, my connection goes away, and it stalls. If i try and open it back up, it wont launch. Along with my phone is very boggy until i shut it off. Anything im missing? Ive played with the firewall settings, although i dont really know what im doin there, but i cant get it to work for nothin. same thing everytime.

Everyone knows that port 3389 is open by default when RDP is activate, and by doing so you are opening yourselves to a security risk. You need to change port 3389 to another port of your choice that only you would know. Once done, let's say that your IP address is 68.234.34.4 and you have open port 65005, on the Remote Client you would type 68.234.34.4:65005. If port 3389 is in used you don't need to write 68.234.34.4:3389 because windows and any client would know to use port 3389 by default. Sorry to be a little long explaining this, but people can easily open their privacy to the WWW. Let me know if you want to know the procedure to change the port number. |

Oops forgot to mention that you want to use a Static IP address. If DHCP is used to assign IP Creditentials, after rebooting your PC the IP address of your computer may change and the port will no longer be fowarded from your router to your PC.

Re: Is there a Remote Desktop HOW TO thread?
Thank you sjs01, that is a really great set of instructions. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a bit. Your post got me through it. Thanks!
It seems likely others already knew this, but I could not get Netflix to work this way. |

just a word of warning... Publishing RDP (remote desktop) out to the public network is a risky thing to do without a VPN. |
