The Remote Desktop Connection

You can control a running terminal server or another computer (Windows 95 or later) remotely through
a remote desktop connection.

Remote Desktop

-

Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000/2003 Server must be installed on the computer to
be controlled remotely. This computer is called a host.

-

A remote computer running on an operating system later than Windows 95 is required. This
remote computer is called a client. The client software for the remote desktop connection must
be installed on the client.

-

You must also be connected to the Internet. A broadband Internet connection is good for high
performance. However, because the remote desktop transmits a minimum set of data including
the display data and keyboard data to control the host remotely, a broadband Internet
connection is not required. You can run a remote desktop on a low bandwidth Internet
connection.

When running a remote desktop on Windows XP Professional, you cannot use the operating
system of your computer.

Enabling Your Computer as the Host

You must enable the Remote Desktop feature to control it from another computer. You must be
logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to enable Remote Desktop
on your computer. Follow these steps:

- Open the System folder in the Control Panel. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel,

and then double-click the System icon.

- On the Remote tab, select the “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer” checkbox.
- Ensure that you have the proper permissions to connect to your computer remotely, and click

OK.

- Leave your computer running and connected to the client’s network with Internet access.
