Question

hello guys

i've seen people that are able to remote control their computer from another computer by entering ip, and something else

but i don't know how to do it

do i need to have like a host in my computer? and use some program in the other pc?

if so, can someone tell me how to do it? what software do i need?

i would really like to be able to do this

Remote Desktop - Good with XP/2003 machines...

VNC - My favourite...

Radmin - Dont like it, not free...

Which ever you choose, if you are using a router, make sure to forward the port to your machine on the LAN.

Remote dekstop is in XP pro, im not sure if its available for home :unsure:

But, Right click my computer -> Properties -> Remote, Check "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" under Remote Desktop...

With VNC, VNC server needs to be installed and running on the machine you want to access. To access the computer you'll need VNC viewer, which is available as a stand alone exe...

the service will run as a DLL in background, i think it will allow you to connect even if your not logged on

the user is the program that start at starup like any other program
