Connecting remotely

Hi all silly question

I am wanting to setup a dedicated ARMA2 server (I have done this many times)

BUT the server PC will be in the garage and my gaming PC will be indoors.

So whats the best software to allow me to do this or should I be ok with the standerd remote desktop built into win7?

All so will connecting to the server when there is a game in session will it cause the server to halt the mission? or will it just run fine?.

Please advise

Thanks

You can use teamviewer internally via its IP address rather than through the central servers if you want.

Use the built-in Windows Remote Desktop Connection utility.
