Remote Desktop Connection
August 7th, 2016
Im new to this, but have used remote desktop connections before but I have never set one up.
I have googled how to set one up but dont really understand the steps as alot dont proved screen shots.
Does anyone know how to do this for the operating systems above and how to do this in easy steps?
Thanks
Vista and Win 7 need to be business/professional or better to be able to be RDC’d in to.

Ok this should solve your problems.
1 You need to ensure that remote desktop is enabled on all the pcs. To do this on the Xp machine, right click My Computer > properties > Remote > now ensure that remote desktop is allowed (ticked)
2 Now start menu > all programs > accessories > remote desktop (this will open the remote desktop access terminal
3 Enter the ip (internet or local) or network name of the pc you want to access
4 Click connect
5 Accept the connention on the other pc

Thanks everyone,
I have tried TeamViewer and seems to be working great! Good to see that a company has made something that works better than Microsoft’s own version.
Thanks for telling me about it.

No offence , but why would I mess around trying to set up remote connections on 3 different operating systems over 5 computers when this software can make it way easier. Don’t get me wrong but if Microsoft made it this easy then I would do it their way.

Also take a look at the solutions of LogMeIn. You can take over a remote computer just with a browser, so basicly anywhere in the world where you have access to a computer with Internet connection ^^
If you want to use VNC, also take a look at UltraVNC.
I use VNC/RDP for my network at work, LogMeIn for my own PC’s and TeamViewer when I have to take over a computer of a friend (so for support purposes).

That’s an incredibly subjective view on the problem you had. Just because another company made it easier for you does not make it better.Thanks everyone,

Maybe for you it’s harder but for me, it’s much easier to just use an inbuilt feature. I’ve yet to have a problem with it and I find it easier than installing any 3rd party tool simply because I don’t have to.Also take a look at the solutions of LogMeIn.
