I just need help in logging on with the remote, client,
computer. I am logging on though through a dial up
connection to a small network with a router on the other
end.
I need to enter / select 4 items:
1. Computer name: Is this the name of the computer on the
network or an IP address? If IP is it the computer's IP
or the router Gateway IP?
2. User Name: Where is this name entered?
3. Password: Again is this the router password or the
computer?
4. Domain: is this the DSL domain?
1. Can be either. If you have a router, it would be the router IP after you
set the proper port to pass through the router to a certain computer.
2. When you log into the computer - so it is an acceptable (one that has
been allowed to remote into the machine) account name on the remote machine.
3. When you log into the computer - so it is an acceptable (one that has
been allowed to remote into the machine) account password on the remote
machine.
4. This depends, is the machine (remote) in a domain? Do the domain
accounts in question have remote desktop rights? Do any local accounts. It
is - again - the machine.
