I can do a Remote Desktop to my Gateway Dialup computer. (even though its got a variable IP Address). Thats FINE. It is basically doing Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) BUT, I want to do a Remote Desktop to the Dynamically assigned WinXP Computer BEHIND the gateway. Is there some special Syntax for using RDP? Does the gateway need to have a special domain?
View 6 RepliesThe title says it all! Basically I have a comp running XP pro and I want to be able to work locally on one user account, with some kind of remote access server running on another XP user account so that the remote account and the local account can be used simultaniously. I know that this cannot be done with XP Pro remote desktop and could be by Windows Server 2003 remote desktop, but i need an alternate solution to make this happen.

For example, if a user calls in asking for assistance with a application, or if we are in need of troubleshooting the machine, we would like to initate a remote assistance request that takes the end user out of the equation so we don't need to walk them through how to send a email/file request.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two different computers both running Windows XP professional. I am trying to connect to one remotely using the Remote Desktop Connection. I have enabled the remote computer for remote logins but for some reason I cannot connect with it. I get the error message that the client could not connect to the remote session. I have 50 other computers on this network all set up the same way and have never had a problem. Everything seems to be configured exactly the same. I can ping the remote computer.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is my problem. I am logged in to a machine via remote desktop and another user with admin rights logs in via remote desktop and logs me off because they assumed that I had forgotten to log off or whatever else. Is there any permission setting either in group policy or elsewhere that would prevent a user attempting to connect via remote desktop from logging off an already logged on user? The problem is that both users are and need to be Admins.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right forum. Here is what I need help on if it can be done. After using remote desktop you either click logoff or disconnect. When you select logoff the xp client I believe is at the Ctrl, Alt, Del screen. If you select disconnect I believe it's at the screen that says your computer is locked press Ctrl, Alt, Del to unlock. Is there a way maybe using a group policy to actually just release the desktop so it's not locked or logged off?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 4 computers in my LAN, they share the same workgroup. I am having a problem with a Windows XP Professional SP2 machine. I enabled remote desktop and i cannot connect to it from another computer.When i try to connect from another computer, i first type in the IP or NetBios name of the computer in question. I get a prompt to enter credentials (username and password). Next i get a prompt because the computer i am trying to connect from is Windows Vista (i tried from another XP computer and it didn't work there eihter), which basically says that it can't verify the identity of the computer and i click yes to continue. After that, the prompt disappears and the Computer input box and the Connect, Help and Options >> buttons in the remote desktop client are greyed out for about 2 seconds, then it just becomes editableclickable and it doesn't connect, neither does it give any error message. I just can't connect to the remote machine. From the problematic machine i can connect to other machines in my network via remote desktop and it works fine.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a XP Pro kiosk which displays information via the SVGA port to the kiosk monitor. Since this computer is in a locked closet, it would be desireable to remotely configure the contents of the screen (power point) from a remote computer. There are several people who require access to this system although not at the same time.
I have tried to configure MS Remote Desktop such that it doesn't create a new session (XP only allows one session whereas Server 2003 allows multiple), but rather displays in the remote desktop client EXACTLY what is being displayed on the kiosk monitor. Unfortunately, all attempts to configure the system to display the console (i.e. mstsc.exe /v:computer_name /console) cause the actual console to revert to an XP login screen rendering the kiosk unusable unless someone then unlocks the closet, logs in directly from the actual console and restarts the power point presentation.
is there a way for Windows XP to go into hybernation and then when remoting into the computer, it awakes?
