It appears Vista Home Premium has some problems with RDP. Have a look here and do what it says and it might work for you.

If you're on wifi, use your internal IP address not your external one. Use whatever address ipconfig shows you and make sure you've added an exception in the windows firewall or turned it off.

On another note, does anyone know if there's a way to pull up a menu in the client? I always just end task it, but there has to be a better way?

That will only work if he is inside his network, not from outside.

Once connected, is everyone's screen REAL SMALL? I can't get it to enlarge at all!

You could try the free Logmein. This will automatically set everything up for your remote desktop veiwing.

Vista home premium does not include the ability to remote desktop that computer. That is only available on the ultimate, enterprise, and business editions. If you are trying to remote your desktop and are not running one of the above editions, you will not get it working.

There are of course ways to hack other versions of Vista to enable RDP, but if you have done that then you shouldn't have any problems with client from the phone.

He's right... you're going to need a third party app like RDM+ to be able to establish a remote connection to your computer, unless you switch to a different version of Vista.

Windows 7 Ultimate RTM is floating about the 'nets... or so I hear. Might be time for an upgrade?

For the record, fuuup does not advocate piracy.

whats the difference between remote desktop and RDM Plus? Will RDM Plus work with Vista Home Premium? i pretty much gave up on remote desktop. I had logmein working but it doesnt seem as good as Remote Desktop from the youtube videos i've seen of it in action.
