Yesterday I installed a new Belkin G Wireless Router on my XP Home system. I uaes the cd, followed instructions, everything worked. I also inst a wireless network adapted downstairs on my other computer. It worked. Then suddenly, the downstairs system stopped working. It was late, I went to bed. Tonight when I came home and started the XP upstairs there was no internet access. The program was gone! The files, the desktop icon, everything was gone. I did not uninstall the program. It had to be done remotely.
I have checked the remote properties and see that they have been set to Allow this computer to be controlled remotely for 30 days! Please assist. I cannot think of any reason why I would need my computer to be controlled remotely.

Using WinXP Pro at HP. What do I do if Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)is not available in Start>All Programs>Accessories>Communications> on my Win XP Pro system at work. I have downloaded and installed RDC from the MS site and rebooted but it still doesn't show up in ...Accessories>Communications>. I need RDC to connect to a reporting server that I have just been given access to. How do I launch RDC if it doesn't show up there?

I appreciate your help on the net. It was indeed helpful to know the need of a VPN in order to connect the RDP. Thank u.

There are many different Linux clients to connect to RDP (RDP is the Microsoft protocol used for Remote Desktop & Terminal Services) hosts. RDP was changed in Vista, and an updated client is now available for all Windows versions but I'm not sure if those updates have been ported to Linux but if not yet it won't be long.

Many Linux distributions come by default with a remote desktop client so its not difficult to find one.

Hope this is helpful,

Eli

I like the tip, but i think Crossloop is a much easier remote desktop client. (www.crossloop.com)
