Wireless Remote Desktop help.
Just set up a wireless network at home with a Netgear WGR614 v5.
Both laptop (Wireless - Vista Home Premium) and desktop (hard wired - XP Pro) are conected to www.
I'm also hard wired from the laptop's ethernet to the desktop's 2nd ethernet card for remote desktop.
What I want to do is remote desktop from the laptop to the desktop wirelessly via the router to be completely wireless on the laptop.
The current RDP settings just throw up a 'cant find computer on network' message when I disconnect the ethernet cable and try to connect to remote desktop, which I fully expected.
This is my first attempt at a wireless network so it's been a bit of a learning curve. Having to reboot the STB, router and main machine everytime I make a router config change is a nightmare! Unless I do this, I'm stuck on the NTL computer provisioning page..
Anyway, is there any RDC experts out there? I don't want to VNC or whatever, I just need this to be local.
I'm sure it's something to do with port forwarding, but I'm a bit lost in the router's manager page.
The 2nd ethernet card on the PC is now effectively redundant when I disconnect the cable. I'm wondering if my problem is going to stem from this somehow.
Thanks.
