  1. I have an internal vga input on my pc and my primary monitor is hooked up to this. I'm thinking of investing in a hdmi pci card as my tv/monitor has a hd connection. So all I need to do is add this pci card to my motherboard and then buy a hdmi cable? and connect the cable from the pc to the tv? the only query I have regarding this is that would my pc sound also come out of my tv? That is ideal for me. I know I could have gone down the easy route of getting a vga connection for my pc but the hdmi graphics will be better and I might get sound.
  2. Hey people First of all apologies if this is in the wrong section, I was a little confused to where to create a ew topic and thought this would be the best place but mods please remove if you feel necessary. I was hoping someone could offer me a little support regarding trying to add my new tv/monitor as my secondary monitor to my pc, ideally what I want is when you add a second monitor to your laptop as an extended monitor that is what I require. Is this possible? If so how? Would I need to purchase an additional graphioc card for my pc? Could you recommend me one? Or could I purchase something like a vga splitter which I would plug in the back of my vga slot and it would have two female vga connections? Thank you.
  3. Hi Nolo Sorry but what do you mean when you say dynamically assigned? In my router options I can see an option if dynamically assigning it using w*w.dyndns.com but I dont know what it means. Mr Snrub I dont know which option on the left lets me add the ip address Ive been through all of them and I dont know which one it is. please help. Ive attached a screen shot of my router interface. Nolo Edit* If it helps with the dynamically part when I set up my router it checks the isp settings and says we have dhcp and not static.
  4. Omg you’re a freaking genius I got on without any problems, now the only other issue I have is the IP address. Ever since last night my laptop has latched on to the ip address that was ‘suppose’ to be the XP pro sp3 ip address and what keeps happening is my pc keeps dropping the wireless and reconnecting after every few minutes, is this because of the ip address? When I went on to port forwarding yesterday I assigned the ip address from the pc in port forwarding but now that ip address is given to the laptop so how would I go about doing this so the ip address can only be accessed by that pc? The model of my netgear router is WGR614V9 and on the left I tried to see some option of reserving an ip address but couldn’t find anything, I would choose the reserving the ip address rather than the static ip address because I was having trouble yesterday trying to set up static (I got to the dns server part but when I ran ip config / all it was the same as the ip address of the router but in the tutorial it said it should be some different numbers, when I logged on my router it says the dns is assigned automatically) and also there are quite a few laptops on our network and asking them all if I can mess around this their laptops will cause a few problems. Finally can someone tell me how secure rdp is? If someone gets my ip address and then hacks my password am I in a lot of trouble Can I do anything to make it even more secure?
  5. Hi, Did you mean 'Turn Remote Management OFF' if that is what you meant then that is what I have turned off. Thanks for clarifying the public IP part, the only confusion I have is which ip address do I use? Is it the ip address of the router or the ip address I get from using ipchicken.com I think its the latter but please confirm.
  6. Hi – I have an update. I know I had two options available regarding my ip address so I could either change it from dhcp to static or get my router to reserve my ip address. I thought I would leave this option for later as I would prefer to get the rdp working before I worry about the ip address. So I reverted back to 8080 on my router and on the router interface I went into port forwarding and created a new service, I named it, left the service type as TCP/UDP, inserted 3389 as the starting port and the ending port and then changed the server IP address as my ip address on my XP Pro SP3. So I have the port forwarding working now what do I do on my sisters computer? Do I open up remote desktop on her computer or do it via internet explorer? What do I enter? Do I enter the Ip address or the computer name? How do I enter it? Do I enter the netgear ip address first and then my computer ip address? For example XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/192.168.1.5 I have vnc server running on my xp Pro Sp3 computer if that helps, do I use the ip address on my computer or the ip address vnc server has? Thanks again for all your help
  7. Hi I was hoping someone would be able to help me out please as I have been struggling on this problem for over a year - yes you heard it correct over a year  The problem I have is I’m trying to get windows remote desktop to work externally (I know there are people who keep telling me to use logmein/teamviewer but I don’t really want to use anything but remote desktop for some other reasons). I have remote desktop working in my house, I tested the home PC with my laptop and it worked (even though It took me absolutely ages as I had to narrow down the problem to mcafee firewall so now I have enabled remote desktop port 3389 in Mcafee). When I go out of town to my sisters house and I try to log onto my home computer It’s not letting me on for some reason, my knowledge of computers is not that great so please be gentle with me. Both of the computers are XP Professional SP3, and my computer/laptop at home is behind a netgear router (In Netgear I went on to remote management and changed the port from 8080 to 3389). Now when I’m at my sisters house and I open remote desktop I enter http:// but again I can only see the router interface. If I’m doing something which is really stupid then I’m sorry its just I don’t have that much knowledge of computers  I have disabled my windows firewall. Please help me, I will be forever grateful as I’m loosing the will to live.
