Aesthetic Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 yeah.. can i connect to a computer running XP Home through remote desktop? or do i basically need 3rd party software? if so, what are the best options? UltraVNC? i really just need to be able to transfer files, and update one program, on a series of XP Home machines which cannot join my domain. is something like Cisco VPN a good idea? any help is greatly appreciated.
eyeball Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 you cant remote desktop to a xp home machine, believe me iv tried and tried however your can remote desktop from it. the alternative is MS netmeeting or something like ultravncThanks
Aesthetic Posted November 17, 2005 Author Posted November 17, 2005 thats what i expected, thanks for confirming. if only i could force people to use Pro, dear god that would make my job so much easier.
jftuga Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Try UltraVNC and make sure to install the Video Hook Driver add-on. The speed is just as good as Remote Desktop, plus you have file transfer capability.http://ultravnc.com/-John
