Terminal service client : how to ?

[Digs]

Check my device below.

My desktop PC is Windows Professional 2003 SP4
I have zone alarm security suite. I can turn zone alarm off while testing.

1) how do I determine the IP address of my desktop PC
2) how do I determince the IP address of my PPC
3) how do I setup my desktop pc operating system to receive ppc ping and remote control from PPC.

So how do i get this "Terminal service client " working ?

Is my data access safe ?

mmm you have windows 2000 SP4 or windows 2003 SP2? witch one is it. (doesn't matter :D)

first. remote desktop uses port 3389 and the pocketPC client can't handle any other port. So if you are behind a firewall or router let this port have access! (use a static IP for you PC if you use portforwarding on a router)

goto www.whatismyip.com and the number you see there is your IP. (if you use it a lot make a free dyndns.org account you can make your own domain name like nick.mine.nu instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

Goto your windows server to account management. make you user active in the group remote desktop (or something similar)

that would be all. just give a user access-right on a windows PC, and make sure the portforwarding and firewall are configured OK.

if any more questions buy a book windows for dummies :D

..."Goto your windows server to account management. make you user active in the group remote desktop (or something similar) "...

Is this the PPC owners name, as the user in Windows 2000 Prof SP4 for remote access.

In windows 2000, do I "make a new connection" and select "accept incoming connections" or do I "connect to a private netwrok through the internet" ( VPN )...

Are the any web pages on this, I have been google for a while.
