jamiepullen Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 how can i connect remote desktop to an xp pro machine from a library pc that is windows 2000? the network is set up so i cannot install programs and it will not run .exe files. logmein.com takes ages to load up and fails to connect 95% of the time on the library computers (fine on mine, i think they wont install the java applet). i remember reading about setting up a webpage to go to that will connect to the remote pc. is this possible or is there a better way? thanks, jamie Quote
Jamey Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Well, the web page will have to have some sort of embedded object, usually a Java applet. Since it fails to connect so often, it is very likely the computers are behind both a router and a proxy. This makes connecting to anything apart from websites very difficult. As in, if you had a web page with a Java applet that connected to your machine, it would fail because it would never be allowed to connect as it is a port/service other than HTTP (web pages). I'll look for a solution but it's probably going to be a complex one! Quote
jamiepullen Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 thanks alot Jamey, but 'above basic' is where i am at. Is there any way i can do it, webpage or not? Is there any way i can run an .exe program on a restricted network (dont have command prompt) as tight vnc works well for me but it is a .exe program and the library will not run it. There must be some way i can do it, ater all i am not trying to do anything sinister here with their network, i just want to view my home pc Quote
hardware_dave Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Try creating a text filetodo what you want then change the extension to .bat. Ie- create test.txt , open it with notepad and enter cmd Now change the file name to test.bat and click on it - a dos box.

danzil Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 you could try vnc open your firewall port for 5900 and 5800 then go to a web page type you ripo in ie 86,31,68,45:5800 then it should ask for your password regards danzil Quote Windows 10 Pro x64Aqua Jeantech Gaming case550watt psu.MSI Gaming Board32GB DDR3 Corsair gaming RamGenuine Intel i7 3.2Ghz4 x 24x dvdrw 150GB SSD750GB Hybrid Drive256 RAID PCI/E SSD for OSand loads of other bits i really dont need :D
