Comment: Is there any good/recommended Remote Desktop software? Ones which is good enough to get through NAT security when trying to access a PC via ADSL connection. -- For remote support purpose. Thank You!

Reply: (edit)If you have XP Pro, it has Remote Desktop (formerly known as Terminal Services) built in. Just forward port 3389 to the PC you want to control in your router. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina.www.redcross.org

Reply: (edit)http://www.computing.net/networking/wwwboard/forum/27132.html Exhaustive discussion with some bickering, but it does show why RDP is the better way to go with Windows machines. VNC is a major security risk, especially if not used with SSH. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina!www.redcross.org

Reply: (edit)thanks guys! where can I find a copy of RDP? is it the same as the windows xp's remote desktop? if it is, I'm not sure if it can bypass firewall and NAT if the modem/router supports NAT.

Reply: (edit)If you don't have control over the NAT then you will not find a remote desktop program that can bypass it. The NAT/router is a hardware firewall and that is what they do; block intrusions. They must be configured to allow the passthrough for the remote desktop. Bryan

Reply: (edit)The only way it could conceivably work is if the computer being controlled initiated the connection attempt to some central computer (kinda like a chat client). Not only do I not know of a remote access that does that, I wouldn't want remote access to do this. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina!www.redcross.org
