The problem I have run into is that you must have the client installed on the computer you use to access your server. This is a problem for me at school because I don't have permissions to install anything on those computers. Does anyone know of a similar program that can access your network through a web browser instead?

all VNC software also has a java version which is accessible by any web browser. install that software and go in the settings and make sure the "web" client side of things is enabled which runs on port 5800 rather than 5900 which the software client needs to connect to. if u need any help let me know, i use it all the time. Although windows server 2003 has a really nice new feature that makes vnc useless.

A little bit, yeah. With remote desktop or terminal services, you've got another logon to the machine (XP Pro is limited to one logon whether interactive or remote). In XP Pro, you would kick off whoever's working on the machine and the screen would blank on the local monitor.

With VNC, you take control of the machine regardless of who is logged on. Kind of like physically taking over the machine.

Different tools for different purposes. I just really dislike the screen refresh "feature" of VNC over slow connections.

Am I right in thinking VNC offers 0 encryption? I think even Windows Desktop Remote even has some encryption.

I also would prefer using another user account to access a desktop so that it can be limited. I would never want a full access account that can be accessed outside the network. If you need to remotely control a desktop while the other user is still logged on then use something like Windows Remote Desktop through MSN.

So what makes it better than Remote Desktop if it isn't encryption? You can also set it up so you can access a desktop through IE if you set up ISS.

That makes remote desktop even better

COOL! Thanks for the link!

As far as I'm concerned, RDP works faster, with little or no lag, compared to VNC. I've been using VNC for years, and still have it on all machines at work locally and remotely... but now I use it more for remote instruction, or for anything that needs to be done while the user is logged in. I use RDP for admin useage.

Ditto exactly what that guy said :p VNC is nice, but RDP works much faster. and with 2003 admin pack, "Remote Desktops" (notice the "S") does the same thing as VNC basically. it does lock the server but I could careless, its in some server farm.
