Cheers Adrian, will do.

Take care.

OK so I have set up XP Pro and enabled remote connection on the system panel. I have allocated which users I want to be able connect. I have also had a static IP set up for the factory which feeds into by BT Intelligent Gateway. What address do I type from my hope to get to the login screen on the factory computer? Obviously 'http:\\myipaddress" but is that followed by any forward slash address or colon then the port number?

Thanks again guys, looks like I am getting there slowly!

Cheers

Hi James, goto Start -> Run -> mstsc -> type in your ip address here.
That should get you to the logon screen

mstsc = Microsoft Terminal Services Client (also known as Remote Desktop Client).

Thanks GaRHaR, all is now working!! Have to say, I am very please at the minimal performance drop when using remote desktop! Hopefully now there won't be so much travelling involved in my week!!

Thanks again for all your help through out this thread and to everyone else who has contributed!

Cheers
James
