Guys, I need some computer help here. I am on a wireless network, and I want to know if it is possable to control the other computers on the network. I know I can do this through cnet, but what about through windows remote? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Erik
Yes, try either Remote Desktop (comes built into XP) or VNC (a bunch of clients/servers available - I've used RealVNC and TightVNC). If you want control of just files, enable file sharing on the folders you want access to.
You can also use GoToMyPC which is a paid service. Another option is to purchase Symantec pcAnywhere 12.
Use VNC if you want to actually control what is happening on the screen with the currently logged in user. I'm not sure how XP works with remote login and users as I only use Windows Server 2003 but I don't imagine it much different. The new remote desktop client that I believe was released yesterday has improved authentication methods and is more efficient with bandwidth use.
