Guest Karl Rhodes Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Hi all, this is something I've assumed is the case but never had it confirmed. Would I be right in thinking that there is no way for a user who is sat at their pc to view the goings on on-screen while an administrator, or another user for that matter, is connected to the pc via remote desktop? If there is some way of doing this without a third party application, then I'd be really grateful is someone could let me know how it's done. Alternatively, if there is a third party plugin that's free or relatively cheap, then I'd appreciate links to these too. Thanks, Karl

With this, the recipient can see the pointer moving as you control the system. Here's what you do the first time: - Click Start, Run, type CONF, click OK. - Go through the one-time Setup Wizard, filling in first and last names, email address, and deselect "Log on to a directory server when Netmeeting starts". Just click your way through the audio tuning wizard, unless you want to use them too. - Then Netmeeting will start. One of you will have to email the other your ip address. Here's a few ways to get that: 1. In NM, click Help, About Windows Netmeeting. The IP address is there, but if it starts off 192.168. that's the wrong one, and you have a router. 2. Go to whatismyip.com and copy/paste your ip address. 3. Click Start, Run, type CMD, click OK. Type IPCONFIG, and press Enter and you'll see the IP address. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Now starts the common, everyday desk-sharing routine: - Send the IP address. - Recipient types it into the top pane, clicks the phone icon. - After the connection is made, the "host" clicks the low left icon, which looks like a hand holding a window. - Click "Desktop", click "Share". Click "Allow Control" button. - You request control (an option at the top of the window with their desktop display), they accept in the prompt that pops up, and you have control. You can then click View, Full Screen and you'll see nothing but their desktop on your screen, if the screen resolutions are the same. -- Joe =o)
