Venator Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 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 folksVenator B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viewer is all you need, it will work with any existing VNC server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tguy Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
