communicating between router'd pc's

[Phillip]

soooo....

i have 1 wired pc and one wireless pc succesfully talking to the internet through my new router

i want to get the wired to be able to remote access the wireless one. kind of graphical VNC style?

(possibly also map the drives on the wireless, into windows explorer on the wired)

can anyone recommend the best way to set up that graphical method - is VNC the preferred way, or does windows remote assistance work just as well nowadays?

and tips on how to get the desktop-within-desktop and drive mapping actually working

fanx

Two different things.

1. Drive Mapping, which is secondary benefit to the Sharing Settings.

See here at the end of the page, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

2. Remote control.

Both VNC and RDT work well there are slight differences between what it can do, it is your choice according to your needs.

Just remember, XP Home does not have RDP server capability.

cool many thanx...

i've set folders as shared on this pc that my wireless pc can see in the network folders...

none of these folders will be visible on the internet?

i've set the wireless access as trusted stations only and used the MAC address of the wireless as the only thing that can access it.....does that mean no other pc's will be able to access my wireless access point?

i feel like i've just discovered the dos prompt :s
