we have to do that due to firewalling

if i remote in from home to work on a remote site, say in wisconsin, it goes like this


1-fire up VPN on my home box (via satellite)
2-hit my cubicle PC via RDP
3-RDP into a server in the datacenter
4-RDP into the remote server in Wisconsin

so i have to use 4 computers to get onto the desktop of the remote box

Yep. Use Remote Desktop, vnc, and Dameware at various times.

(desktop to laptop, laptop to work server)

or

have directly copied contents of your local CDROM to the drive of a remote server.

Hmm, I don't think that qualifies as an uber geek... a higher geek creature maybe, but not uber geek.
And, yes... I do it all the time.

Nah.. You should change #1 to:

1. Create SSH tunnel to your firewall, Remote Control 1 machine, then use that machine to remote control others in your network.

I overclock my PDA - not super hardcore, but definitely up there....

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

Tivoli Remote Control is very good.

 

[Gooose]

its sad i look forward to it everyday!

 

[Anonemous]

hmmm what if you remoted to one machine and then remoted to another to just remote to your original computer 🙂

PDAs are anti-geeky.

Today I did

My workstation=>Master workstation=>Deployment server=>My home router=>My home desktop=>My girlfriend's laptop

It was then that I found out that she was in the next freaking room. I thought she was at home and I was just going to screw with her head a little bit.

Speaking of screwing with someone... anyone ever start up music on their desktop (or played weird sound files) while remoted into it from their living room ? Or maybe eject the CD tray ?

 

[mpitts]

I'm guilty on both charges.

i'm obviously not dorky enough.

If only 1 machine is accessible from outside, you remote to it, then from there to another machine on its network

for this ^ reason... amongst others 😉

 

[johnjbruin]

Do that daily...

haha - I did that to my roommate in college once. Turned up the volume on max - and then played music remotely. My 2nd roommate knew about this in advance and he told me the scene was hilarious.
