I'm currently an MCSE student and we're JUST starting our remote desktop course.
My friend in a city 3 hours away needs me to work on his computer, but using the normal XP pro "remote desktop connection" doesn't seem to work, even if I put in his IP.
We are both running XP pro, but I've tried using my eval of 2k3 server too and still wouldn't connect.
We both have routers, and according to some information I can do a router to router "tunnel" but can't find any clear information on how to set it up.
1) Do we need to disable the router firewalls??
2) Do I need to set up a "VPN" or should I just be able to do it thru the RD connection???
need help.
Cheers
