I have a pc(Upstairs) using vista premium and a laptop(Downstairs) using xp pro.
I want to contect to my pc from my laptop and monitor what is on screen, emails, downloads etc whilst i am downstairs.
I can ping my pc, and see my shared files but cannot get remote desktop to work, i have a wrt54gl router, i have opened dmz, i have turned firewall off on router and on software firewall, but still cannot get remote desktop to work, I have allowed remote desktop on both machines, What am i doing wrong, is it easier to buy some remote software ? If so any recommendations ?
