vnc server
hello there,
I am using http://terminals.codeplex.com/ to connect to 3 of my windows XP machines with tabs and I love it because I dont have to open 3 different instances of the app to be able to connect to multiple computers..
I have http://realvnc.com/ installed on all computers and everything works perfectly fine the only issue is that I have to have 3 instances of the app to connect to 3 PCs because it doesnt allow tabs.. but the good thing is that I can copy/paste all the keyboard shortcuts work and I can also copy a file from win7 and click and paste the file on winxp machine.. but all that doesnt work with terminals.. and the mouse icon is just a tiny square with no keyboard shortcuts.. so I wondering what can I do about this and what do you guys recommend?

Well thanks for bringing this util. to my attention. It seems a bit slow and klunky on the VNC implementation like you say connecting with Tight VNC and real VNC servers but nice little front end anyway for bringing together a few connection types as you say.
I was able to copy/paste normal clipboard between vnc, rdp, and host OK.
Personally I have various control methods for different customers with traditional IPSEC VPN's, SSL VPN's and direct internet as required.
For most I keep a menu structure of links on a server drive with links to RDP files, VNC connections, web addresses, virtual machines etc. under each customer name etc. which is then linked to and displayed on support machines which is easy enough to maintain. I have never had a problem copy and pasting between these and drive mappings to the host PC where needed as long as they allow these options at the server end.
You could always use a Java based VNC viewer like this one and then have them in your tabbed web browser with a couple of web pages to launch / host them: http://www.tightvnc.com/release-jviewer2.php

http://ipaddress:5800/ works for realvnc as well
Agreed there ve30fa though it depends upon whether the other end has that enabled and port 5800 open through firewalls so if you run a Java viewer locally then you can point at the "normal" port they have open, i.e. 5900 by default.
If this is just on a LAN (and re-reading it probably is) then browser based does seem logical way.

I dont think you guys understand my original question but the issue that I am having with terminals is that I cannot copy/paste or the keyboard shortcuts work..
so basically I am looking for an alternative that would do the same as terminals by using tabs and they keyboard shortcuts work

But for terminals they DO work for me?
I downloaded from your link and tried with a couple of VNC and RDP sessions so far.

I downloaded v2.0 of terminals and installed on win7..
then downloaded realvnc server installed on winxp..
connecting to win xp machine through vnc and I write a text note in notepad on win7 then copy, try to paste it on the win xp and nothing..

Hmm, I'm sure this was working a minute ago but now I can't get anything involving holding down Shift or Control to work (e.g. Shift <-- to highlight and Control C to copy).
Odd.

I stopped using VNC server and switched to RDP which is way better and it works wonderful with terminals..
You could also try a product like TeamViewer (http://www.teamviewer.com). Try it with one of your XP machines and see if that does the trick for you. Behaves different than VNC, but generally works pretty well. I will admit that it's not quite as efficient in terms of system resources as the VNC programs are though.
a command prompt type windows doesn't have a mouse and the keyboard shortcuts i.e. ctrl-c, ctrl-v don't work even if you are on that machine in person.
