Wireless Remote Control

 

 

4.Install the remote desktop client on your client/laptop computer:

The client software is installed by default on computers running Windows XP Professional, but you must install it manually on computers with other operating systems. The client software is an XP feature, but it is backwards compatible. For example, you can use an XP CD to install this feature on Win 2000, ME, 98 or 95 systems as follows:

a.If you have a Windows XP CD, insert it into your client computer’s CD-ROM drive. When the Welcome page appears, click “Perform additional tasks,” and then click “Setup Remote Desktop Connection.” When the installation wizard starts, follow the directions that appear on your screen.

or:

b.If you do not have the Windows XP CD, download the Client installer from the following link and follow the on-screen instructions:

www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdclientdl.mspx

5.On the client/laptop computer, begin a remote desktop session:

a.Open Remote Desktop Connection. (Click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.)

b.In the “Computer” field, type the computer name of your host computer. (You wrote this down in step 3.b, remember?)

c.Click Connect. The “Log On to Windows” dialog box appears on your client computer.

d.Enter your host computer’s user name, password, and domain (if required), and then click OK. The remote desktop window will open on your client computer, and you will see the desktop settings, files, and programs of your host computer. Using remote desktop to control a computer is just like using that computer directly; you can do anything remotely, that you could do locally.
