I would like to know hot to get terminal services working so I can control my computer with my ipaq. I installed Terminal Services Client on it since I don't think it has it. I currently use netmeeting on computers to control them...Any ideas?

Terminal Services is something that was introduced with Windows 2000 server. It is a server product.
Windows XP has a very cut back version that allows one client to connect and provide remote diagnostics/assistance. I believe that you can connect the terminal Services client to this. You must have XP and you have to enable remote Assistance.
I will try this and let you know

XP and 2003 server came with terminal services server installed. 2000 may need the addition. You will need to add/remove programs then its under windows components... You will just have to look for it I don't recall the name anymore. But you can term. service and when you click ok choose "Remote Administration Mode".

XP needs some possible tweaking. On system properties window look for the "Remote" tab.

Make sure you have checked "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer"
There should be a button labeled "Select Remote Users" click it. Hopefully your current logged on user ID will show up under the list box as DOMAIN\\USERNAME already has access. If so just click ok. Otherwise you will need to add a name in the box.

The PPC already had the client installed on it. Just look in programs and run it. To connect to your PC try the netbios name (computername) if that doesnt work use the IP directly.

Note: Some routers have their wireless segment and wired segments seperated internally and finding PC's from wireless to wired is problematic.

P.S. just read the above post.

I know term services works to XP/2003 Server and 2000 server. I use it frequently and it is the main reason I bought a PPC with VGA. Its a bit tough to get used to but works!

Yes, it works.
Right click my computer and select the tab "remote".
Enable Remote Desktop and allow the username you want to connect as.
Then connect from ipaq (you may have to use the IP address).
Looks pretty good in landscape with SE_VGA.

A little correction here. Terminal Services was available back in the Windows NT server days with Windows NT Terminal Server Edition. Microsoft built upon that. Terminal Services client will work with NT Server TS Edition, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server and XP Professional. I have to double-check on Windows 2000 Workstation.

Windows 2000 Server - Not installed by default.
Windows XP - 'Remote Assistance'
Windows Server 2003 - Sort of installed by default.

There are 2 different 'modes' of opperation for Terminal Server. One costs butt loads of cash for licenses, the other does not.

The first one, which is the expensive one, is (think this is what it's called) 'Application Server' mode. This is where you have one big computer that many users connect to to run their applications.
The other mode is 'Remote Administration' mode, and it's free.

On Windows Server 2003 'Remote Administration' TS is installed by default I believe, and only allows a total of 2 connections at the same time to the TS.

Windows 2000 Server just trusts you to only use a maximum of two at one time.

Windows XP, like stated before, 1 at a time.

If this is a business thing... check your licenses. Anything but 'Remote Administration' requires additional TS licenses.

After using various methods for remote control, from VNC, to Dameware, to Remote Administrator. I must say that Terminal Server is by FAR the best way of connecting to a remote server. Period. Hands down. The others I mentioned, well, for lack of a more descriptive term, SUCK!

I use it daily to manage about 8 SQL servers. It rocks.

i use terminal services from my ipaq all the time, its easier than having to tout around my laptop- however you haven't lived until you've tried terminal services from a tablet pc- it's like an ipaq only an 8 inch screen... anyway

windows 2000 pro does NOT have the ability to support terminal svcs sessions.
windows 2000 servers do limit you to 2 sessions in remote admin mode
windows 2003 remote admin mode is setup exactly the same way as windows xp
i actually have not been able to get windows xp working in remote assistance mode where you actually join the session- i've only been able to get it to lock the screen locally and i take control of my session.
term svcs is the best simply because it's built into the OS, vnc and pcanywhere are applications that unfortunately tend to crash. i installed a version of pcanywhere on a computer once and had to reformat because it overwrote the login gina with an incompatible version...
