You can research using VNC with SSH, that's a pretty popular thing to do if you want to be more secure. Or use Terminal Services. A bit more solid than VNC.

I will give Terminal Services a try.

thanks

Hya,

Not a bad choice, BUT, it give you a session on the machine, not the control of the (console) desktop. Also, you can only use it in Remote Management mode, not in Application Server mode; that mode will work for only 90 day, and after that you'll have to buy licenses for it

Cheers!

I try VNC and Radmin.
VNC I give it a 8 out of a 10. It is FREE
Radmin I give it a 7 out of a 10. It is not free. The Desk top View pretty bad

How can improve the speed on VNC?

There are many different remote connection packages:

PC Anywhere
Remotely Possible
Timbuktu

All of which will support remote control of a host machine: they're all commercial packages. The beauty of VNC is that it's free, and it has cross-platform support, Win31, Win95/98/ME, WinNT/2k/XP and UNIX; its weakness is its poor security features: a simple password.
