How do I set up a remote desk top connection or a VPN whatever that is?
Sorry for some of the rude answers you got. This is supposed to be a place to ask questions. Remote desktop is Microsoft’s method of connecting two machines. It’s kind of limited and you may have problems unless both machines are the same OS family (XP to XP is OK – Vista to XP not so good) It’s not available on all editions of the OS Instead of Remote desktop, I use one of the Free VNC programs like TightVNC or UltraVNC you can find on the Web. They are clean, simple and work great for remote administration on a LAN They are not so easy to use on the Internet When you want to do remote administration on the Internet, you need to deal with the firewalls at each end. You also want to have an encrypted connection some someone cannot see and possibly steal data from the session just by being in the middle of the data stream This is where a VPN – Virtual Private Network comes in. By using encryption software and creating “tunnels” through firewalls, you can set up a private, secure connect
