I need help Setting up my remote desktop connection...
I have followed these here...
The First One
The Second One

When I try to connect from a different internet connection i get an error. I need help. Has anyone else here ever done a remote desktop connection before?

I usually just use MSN Messenger for remote desktop ...if the 2 computers have fast internet or are on a LAN remote desktop works just fine through MSN messenger and its easy to setup, all you do is send an invite to the other

hmmm, I didnt know msn messenger had that feature. Is it kinda like the thing in aim where you can send files to each other? Because thats not what I want. I actually want a "Remote Desktop" Connection.

you can go right into another computer and use it with windows live messenger

ohhh ok i'll try it out. I already have a hotmail account.

Can I use my internet connection through it. The one i will be connecting to?

[Donna]

the other pc needs to have an internet connection as it needs to give you permission to come in.

ok, this may sound stupid but when i try to login with MSN messenger it says something about a .net passport. What is that?

[Donna]

thats your email address you use to login

[ProjectWhat]

oh ok, I typed me email in wrong, thats why it messed up. Im logged in so now what. Where do I go. Does my other computer that im logging into need messenger?

[Donna]

Both computers need to have a connection, both using msn.

On the other pc they need to open a window with you. Actions - Request Remote Help

After permission is granted takes a few mins your inside and have full control of the other PC

I did. I would really like to use xp's remote desktop feature though...

it says this in the troubleshoutting guide to my error:

Quote

<errorBox>The remote connection has timed out. Please try connecting to the remote computer again.</errorBox>

Cause: The terminal server disconnected your session because you did not send a response within the time limit set for responses.

Solution: Try connecting to the terminal server again. If you receive this error message, try to reconnect at a later time. If you continue to receive this error message, contact the server administrator.

Cause: A slow network connection, caused by excessive network traffic, has delayed your response to the terminal server.

Solution: Try connecting to the terminal server again. If you receive this error message, try to reconnect at a later time. If you continue to receive this error message, contact the server administrator.

Sorry to butt in here but can i suggest instead you use realVNC, http://www.realvnc.com/.

Incredibly simple. Install it on one machine, run the service. Install it on another and run the client. Enter the other computers IP:vncport and your in. Passwords/security options are optional so it couldn't be easier.

Well I cant install things at school. I really need the remote desktopn connection. Please dont try to change my mind unless the Remote Desktop Connection through windows wont work.

[cheerio]

try logmein.com if your school comps support JAVA

It is prob. Blocked at school we have the TNA filtering service. Man They Are GOOD! The have blocked every proxy server out there, and of course things like these. also if I could get PHP running from my laptop I could use a PHP proxy script I have on my harddrive which then they cannot block. Well thats a whole nother subject though, maybe later.
