Remote Desktop Connection

[UID=0]

Wow, thank you, I really appreciate it. My remote desktop is activated and I am using Vista Ultimate.

I have heard of Teamviewer before and for a time I had it sitting on my computer waiting to be tested out. I never got around to it and its gone since then.
I would assume that if I use team viewer, the pc that connects to mine would have to be running teamviewer as well wouldn't it?
I have googled into it for a while but I got frustrated so I asked the knowledgable community of SF.
I suppose I can search for a program that may be able to connect via web. But I appreciate it just the same.

As for the dynamic IP, my IP doesn't change often and even when it does its not too much trouble to just start using a new one. My main goal is to be able to connect to my PC remotely without installing and software on the foreign computer. Preferrably through the remote desktop service built into windows.

No problem, hope it may have helped a little!

Yes, the other PC connecting to you, would have to be running Teamviewer as well, unless you were both using something else,
but maybe another type of remote connection applicaton, may be compatible with Teamviewer, I'm not certain.

One thing about Teamviewer though, is that you should absolutely trust whoever you allow to access your PC remotely,
as there are many who would take advantage of that and exploit you if they could.

So you just have to take care, as far as that is concerned!

I'm sure that there must be some software avalable, to allow you to do what you want to do,
and it would mean that you would have to configure your PC, to accept incoming connections from wherever you wanted to access it from.
I know that you usually do this in real-time with Teamviewer etc, but am not certain how it would work, if you are trying to access your PC remotely,
maybe with a set of pre-configured question and answer type security prompts, that you set up. It's maybe best that you Google a little about that.

Good luck with it though.
