hello!
i want to make remote connection, using internet, between my work pc and home pc. i have tried to do this via a free web based service called logmein (www.logmein.com) but i was really unsatisfied with the result. the connection between the computers was horrible, performance wise it was unbareable. i know windows xp has a built in remote connection tool so i decided to try that out, since both of my pcs have windows xp. only problem is i don't know how, more precisely i don't know where to start. if anyone can point me in the right direction i't would be appreciated.
here are my configurations:
WORK PC:
pentium 2.2GHz
1gb ram
Windows XP Home SP2
1024/192kbps ADSL
NOD32 anti-virus and Look 'n Stop firewall
HOME PC:
amd64 3500+
1gb ram
Windows XP Pro SP2
1024/192kbps ADSL
NOD32 anti-virus and Look 'n Stop firewall
as you can see they are fairly fast pc, business wise anyway, so i was little stumped how slow the logmein remote feature was. i have broadband, 1mbps dsl so i don't think it was the connection(i could be wrong of course).
anyway i'd like to try out the windows remote connection feature and see if it is more suiting for me. so any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks!!
