i want to know when you remote access another computer, say from work to home,

can someone from my home then be able to acess my work computer or does/can this acesss only go one way(work to home, not home to work), if so how do u enable a one way connection?( work to home only)

and how do u know if someone is remote accessing your computer? (pop up window or sound etc.. ??)


Thanks ahead of time!!

Hi gmann,

You can setup remote desktop either way or both, completely up to you. If the host you want to connect to is using a router, you need to first set up port forwarding on that router. This web site should explain everything, including logging of connections: Remote Desktop Tips for the SOHO User

Any questions, please let me know.

thanks! i jus wanted to know if someone is at home using my home computer will me using remote desktop (from work) obstruct or interfere with their ability to navigate and or use my home computer, if so how can you fix this ?


Thanks!!

Will take up some bandwidth, and obviously any application you use will require cpu and memory, so they may experience a little slowdown. It completely depends on what your doing and what applications you use. They won't know any difference unless you decide to reboot the PC or something like that.
