I hope this is the right place to ask. I need to be able to connect to my
office computer from home. I've never been able to figure out how to get
Remote Desktop to work. They're both DSL connections but it seems the router
is acting like a firewall. Is there a better program out there or is there
an easy way to get around a firewall/router?

All the best,

Steve

Hi,
I've heard good things about UltraVNC from http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

I have Log Me In https://secure.logmein.com/ in Favorites but don't remember
who recommended it or when.

The newsgroup for Remote Desktop appears to be
microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....work_remotely

Hope this helps,

The specified remote computer could not be found. Verify that you have typed the correct computer name or ip address, and then try connecting again. =?Utf-8?B?U3RhY2V5?= Windows XP Work Remotely 3 20th Mar 2004 08:16 PM
