Remote desktop host...

Post by rosareven »

Just curious that is it possible to host a desktop on other computer or server and then use remote desktop program to manage it? My home is using passive connection and I couldn't upload... Remote desktop might be the only way to help me.

It is very possible. However it will require a fair amount of bandwith.
I used Remote Desktop myself quite a lot (managing my desktop from my laptop) but I connect to the desktop through LAN connection and I still can feel the 'lag'

Remote desktop depends on your bandwidth. I have a 256Kbps upload and I find that over the internet its quite slow, just about usable as long as I'm not doing graphics. Over a lan [upto 10Mbps] its better, but still there is a bit of lag. Remote desktop will not allow more than one person to use the computer at the same time.

Is that a question or a statement?

I'll assume that you are asking how to use it rather than just making a statement that doesnt' make sense.

TO use it, it needs to be enabled and configured. Enable it from System Properties. To connect to it you can just use your IP address (as long as firewalls don't block it). It uses by default port 3389, but this can be changed with a registry hack.

This feature is only available on XP Pro.
