changed system configuration, you must save a cache for the current system session into flash memory. Failing to do so will cause the changed configuration to be lost when the client is shutdown or restarted. (In the case of logging off, the configuration is remembered when loggin in again.)

Programs

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.

Start a Remote Desktop Session on the Client

Once you have enabled your host computer to allow remote connections and installed the client software on a Windows- based client computer, you are ready to start a Remote Desktop session.

You must first establish a virtual private network connection or remote access service connection from your client computer to your host computer.

1.Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. Or double-click the Remote Desktop Connection icon.

The Remote Desktop Connection window will open.
