Remote Desktop?
I want to use remote desktop so i can fix the PC's on my LAN (i have 4 of them, and my parents, sister and brother are always messing them up :/) But i cant get it working, i have removed the "Do not allow exceptions" check box from all the firewalls, i have allowed remote desktop, and remote assitance on all 4 PC's but i cant get it working i get "Client could not connect to remote computer" All 4 PC's are running Windows XP Home Edition SP2, I have the XP SP2 Disk (NOTE: one of the PC's CD/DVD drive burned out a few days ago, hence my "They break them a lot" statement :|)
- There are other remote access programs available that will work on the XP Home machines.
I've used RADMIN http://www.famatech.com/ for years. It's a 30 day trial, then pay if you want to keep it. It works on Win95/98/ME/2K/XP. You do have to run a host service on each of the remote PCs, but it's impact is minimal.
Val - I love Radmin, but my parents wont let me buy it :/ ontill next year when i can get my license and bank card. Do you know of any free programs like this that work really good?
PS. Its always fun to mess with them when they dont know whats going on :D when i was testing it my mom got on, i started playing pranks on here LOL funny :D
