How Do You Setup & Run A Remote Desktop?
There are two options for setting up and running a remote desktop. One method requires you to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) between the host computer and remote computer. The other method requires nothing more than the IP address of the host computer. To successfully set up remote desktop, the host computer must be running Windows XP Professional or better and the remote computer must be running Windows 95 or better. This process requires some knowledge of networking and security settings and can be quite time consuming. Open “Control Panel” and select “Network Connections.” Under “Network Tasks” on the left-hand side of the window, select “Create a new connection.” A new window will open; hit the “Next” button. Select “Connect to the network at my workplace” and click the “Next” button. Select “Virtual Private Network connection” and click “Next.” Type a name in the “Company Name” field. This can be anything you’d like; just choose something you’ll be able to recognize. Click
