Hey Guys,

Im just wondering how to setup this up on my home network? As it would be very useful around the house as I have multiple comupters.

No real need to set it up on vista - on xp its within My Computer / Prpoerties /Remote and tick Allow users to connect remotely to this computer but beware it doesnt work with Windows Firewall enabled (or I have certainly never got it working when the firewall was active)

Ok Thanks,

I'll give it a try.

Works perfectly with Windows Firewall. Just allow it as an exception!

You'll need XP Pro or Vista Business/Enterprise/Ultimate in order to connect onto that machine, as they are the only versions to allow RDP connections. The client comes with all version of XP and Vista - you just wont be able to connect to those machines.
