Hi,
i have a situation where i can remote desktop into a computer at my office. But what i want to do is to be able to control other PC's from within the office once i have connected to the first computer. In other words i want to be able to remote desktop to a computer then do another remote desktop connection from the computer ive just logged into to other computer. Does anyone know of software that can do it or any sort of solution?

Remote desktop should work, but why don't you just open a new session with remote desktop on your machine instead of daisy-chaining remote connections?
Personally, I've used Dameware to connect to a remote PC then used Remote Desktop from that remote PC to connect to another PC. I was setting up a new PC for the user and I needed them to create a new profile on the new PC. I then proceeded to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move their stuff to the new PC.
I could do two of these sessions on my machine before it would start taxing my PC resources.

Yes. Remote Desktop. As long as it's enabled on the machine you want to connect to, you can use it.
Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Hi,
thanks very much for your comments, i was successful in getting UnltraVNC to do this but have not tried Remote Desktp as i was under the impression i couldnt do it with that. Maybe i dreamnt that up though. I cant just open up a new connection as the computers i will be trying to connect to will be on a different network range, and the router settings prevent me from connecting to other computers. Hope that makes sense
