Hello,
My 88 years old mother just bough a new computer. On the old one, she used openSUSE, but on the new she will use Vista (she needs to play some sort of power point files that I simply can't make play music on opensuse, even in wine - given her age, I can't ask her too much)
I know little about vista, but there is some sort of "remote admin"
is this feature usable from my own openSUSE? (we are not in the same town) I installed openSUSE primarily to be able to do remote admin
:-()
is that VNC?
You can use VNC, but Vista has built-in Remote Desktop Connection or RDC software.
What has to be done in order to get past a firewall on either the controlled or controller system?
Stan - someone else mentioned port 5900. You can also go the route of setting up an SSH connection on the Wintendo box, thus creating a VPN to the box. IIRC, you'll need to run the SSH under cygwin or something like that. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
