If I connect via VPN, how do I use RDP after that?
</div>


<div>
Except I would use the PPP address instead of the computer name correct?

If you connect to your local DNS when you are on VPN then type the computer name, otherwise you have to type the IP address.

We moved to a new location for our office. &nbsp;The new office has a comcast connection for high speed. &nbsp;The computers they have there are connected from home via Windows Remote Desktop. &nbsp;I asked the tech guy how he connects us up for remote use and he said that he needs to make an adjustment to my registry on my laptop after he initially sets up one computer/server in the office. &nbsp;<br />

Previously we used VPN connection through a Cisco router and it worked great. &nbsp;Now this setup is different. &nbsp;What is the difference and how is he setting us up? &nbsp;Can someone explain what he is doing exactly to setup remote desktop. &nbsp;Can i still share files from home this way?

Remote Desktop Setup

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
