| 1389994 | 2014-12-11 23:41:00 | I have 2 PCs at home both running Win 7 Ult SP 1 32bit. Both are hooked up to a DSL router using cable and I want to be able to access PC A from PC B using Remote Desktop. Did some brief google and enabled Remote Assistance. However on the Remote tab of System Properties of PC A , I don't see the Remote Desktop option that has 3 radio buttons to choose from. I tried using mstsc and put in computer name and it doesn't connect. Oddly PC B has the Remote Desktop option and i can enable it and access this PC via RDP from PC A Is there something I need to enable ? I don't want to open my PC for remote access over the internet, just on my home "network" And if i get this to work, any recommendations on how I should configure these 2 PCs to access each others data and be 'remoteable' from one to another. At some point I would like to remote access my home PC from outside so any tips would be appreciated. without setting up complicated domains etc |

| 1389997 | 2014-12-12 02:13:00 | Dont bother with Remote Assistance. RDC works very well from inside the network.....but RDC isnt avail on Windows Home , ie you cant RDC onto a Win Home PC (unless thats changed in 8) Also, sometimes you must have a Windows (login) password for it to work RDC is safe enough, just have good Windows Login passwords & block the port on the router (port 3389) Chances are the RDC port is blocked on the internet router anyway, ie not port forwarded to any PC Team Viewer is a great option as well. There will be many youtube vids on how to install/setup |
