Guest xcal Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Re: vista compatible Hi LDL I remember that Vista requires to specify a user and a pasword for any network access to Vista from any computer. It is so or there are similar things involved, but, at least for example, you cant use shared folders directly. I can be wrong, I didnt make any test but I remember that. So, it doesnt matter if you have win 98, 2K or XP to establish the network, Vista behavior is the same, for me it is really a safer method, since usually any machine in your network can place an infected file within a shared folder, and usually, there are few persons that you "permit" access to your shared folders. It is safer but there is a price, to configure paswords, etc. Another viewpoint is that u re speaking about remote computing, and this is another very diferent thing. It depends on how you implement the conection and there are various ways to do it. For example, you can install LogMeIn on your Vista computer, and I believe you cant have any problem to access your computer from any Win98, NT,2k,Xp if both machines are connected to internet. Now, the point is that LogMeIn can have its own problems. Again, as you win some aditional thing, you have to pay some additional effort for it. hope this helps, Carlos.
