Remote Desktop is so handy

[MeSue]

I just tried it with Terminal Services and it worked but I have dual monitors on my desktop and it shifted all the windows to the primary monitor and resized them. (I'm very anal about my window placement.)

Maybe I'll try Logmein to see if it does better. Altho… I'm not sure what I'd use it for.

Same feeling here. I hope it can be configured to keep the desktop resolution. VNC could but it's so darn slow.

I don't have a tutorial. Can only do it with XP professional. Can google for instructions to setup.

Basically enable Remote Desktop, enable the app in the Windows firewall, for router port forward port 3389 to the pc.
now can use 'Terminal Services Client' on the axim.
from internal network use the machine's ip, from external network I use ISP IP.

As long as at least a decent Dsl wifi, I can access my home PC with ease.

Now going to work on something similar for my linux server.

well my IP is already forwarded and everything is set up for remote desktop as I do it all the time via another computer.. I just tried using vnc from my axim and it didn't work (waited like 5min for it to load and all I saw was a blank screen). however, I'm using linux (ubuntu) so hopefully terminal services client will work the same (I have no good place to test it out without wifi at home :( ).
