With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Setting up Remote Desktop Connection to PC running Vista Business

Asked by robfendergibson in Internet Protocols, Windows Vista, Windows Networking

Tags: Vista, Remote Destop

Hi Experts,

I wonder if you can point me in the right direction please? Very simple office set up with 3 PCs on a wireless network. One PC is running Vista Business and I want to occasionally remote desktop into it from home on my laptop. I have the laptop working fine with remote desktop when working locally over the office wireless network but when remote at home does not work. I simply RDP in using the host computer name.

When trying to connect 'remotely' Do I need to create a VPN first? I obtained the IP address of the host PC by using 'whatsmyipaddress' address is this the correct IP address to use? In summary works 'locally' and not 'remotely' - ant help appreciated - thank you.
