Remote Desktop
LockedWell, stuff you folks probably know how to do… I just learned.
I can now use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to view and work on computer B from computer A.
What was irritating though is that computer B always went to the login screen instead of returning to where I’d left it on computer A.A simple batch file on computer B resolved that problem. ‘tscon.exe 0 /dest:console’ and it resumed where I’d left it after working on it from computer A. I called my batch file ‘logon.bat’ and run it when I’m finished with RDC.
This is all over a small home network. Computer B soon to be relocated in a craft room, in a barn with a Cat5e connection to our router.
Cool, as far as it goes.
Now I want to work on computer B from computer A and have what I’m doing visible on computer B in realtime. My thinking is that it’d be easier to help my two users by showing them, remotely, what to do.
Spying? :^0 I don’t care what they’re doing. We’re all semi-mature adults here. I would like for them to be able to initiate the session, or not, doesn’t matter.
It’s not like I’m some big Admin. or something, I just want to do it that way and will be searching for ways to do it.
I’m open to suggestions and prefer not to use a VPN to do it across the Internet, unless that’s the best and cheapest way. I’m unsure, at this minute, if I have a static IP address or not.
There must be a way to do it across a network.
He’p me, he’p me, brotherman.Please.
