Remote desktop solution

[Venator]

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a remote desktop solution like Windows XP's one. In particular I need the possibility to change the resolution of the remote controlled machine by selecting it in the client portion of the RDP software. Just like when in Windows XP when I select, lets assume, 800x600, the remote desktop windows will be 800x600 pixels big.

I've tried VNC and its variants (RealVNC and TightVNC), but since the pc I need to control remotely has a greater resolution than the client pc, on the client I have to scroll the remote window all the time and it is very annoying.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks folks

Why not use the Win XP one? Also, there are VNC Viewers that allow you to size the window. Give www.realvnc.com a try. The viewer is all you need, it will work with any existing VNC server.

also you can install xp's remote desktop feature under 98 from what i've heard

You could install the XP RDP client on a Win98 machine to control other XP or 2000 or 2003 servers.

The RDP client will not allow inbound connections to a Win98 PC.

I've tried RealVNC, and yes, it allows you to set the window size, but if window size is smaller than the remote pc resolution, the realvnc window will display scrollbars, and I really hate to have to keep scrolling.
