Access to my desktop via a laptop nearby distance

You are using Windows 7, I give account of the answer to this question is relative, but how the practice would be to use a small laptop with 1 GB of Ram for basically remote access to the office next door for things such as Office 2010 and surfing?

I really want to a 10-inch laptop screen and 1 GB of RAM seems to be the standard

My Internet connection is about 5 MB/s for download and 0, 64-Mbit/s for download

Thank you

What operating system and version is office running machine? If its Windows 7 Ultimate/Pro, Vista Ultimate/professional or XP Pro/MCE, you could use Remote Desktop.

If its all Home Edition of Windows 7, Vista or XP, you must use other alternatives like TeamViewer (free for personal use) or VNC (my favorite is UltraVNC with its encryption plugin) or Windows Live Mesh remote connections (only valid for Windows 7 or Vista Home Premium).

Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections works well for the access/remote control of a computer Windows 7 Home Premium. It gives you a nice Remote Desktop display type of the Office from remote computers.

You can use a web browser to access without installing any software, other than an ActiveX control, on the remote client or install Live Mesh on the client. Your choice.

http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-mesh-devices-remote-connections-what-UI

If you use Live Mesh Remote Connections I suggest to create a Live ID limited account type that does not include an e-mail account. I have install a limited Live ID I use only to connect to some Live Mesh remote connections to computers I want / access control.

You can, if you wish, also use an existing Live ID or create a new, but this is your choice.

I installed Live Mesh 2011 on desktop Win 7 Home Premium to my wife and in distance/access control can it go literally anywhere. Sometimes I use the web based (IE. Method ActiveX) from my laptop on the desk.

Here is an example of a session Windows Live Mesh 2011 remote connections on my laptop computer for access to the / remote control of desktop Win 7 Home Premium to my wife.

  • Try to access Windows XP desktop via wireless request a password when none has been set, and never asked in the past.

    I have a netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium (the name is Gary-asus-pc), a laptop (my wife) running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell640m), and a desktop running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell8400).  My Canon printer is connected by USB to my desktop.  Until this week, my wireless network in my house has been working well and I could access the desktop files and printer both netbook and laptop.

    No change in hardware or software tried laptop recently with the exception of the automatic updates.

    Today, my wife tried to print a document of IE8 on his cell phone and it did not work.  I tried of the netbook and it worked fine.  When I tried to check the properties of the printer to the laptop, I got access denied message.  Checking the properties of the netbook has worked.

    Thinking that something got screwed up on the laptop, I removed the printer from the laptop and tried to add again.  The wizard has found the printer, but when I click Next a window pops up showing the following:

    Window title: connect to Dell640m

    Message: Connection to Dell8400

    (in gray)  Username Dell640m\Guest

    Password

    There is no password set on any of the machines.  Just by pressing enter or clicking OK just brings back the same window.

    I closed the window and went back to try to add the printer again.  The laptop computer found the office but did not find all the printers on the laptop or the desktop.  This behavior is fairly consistent.  The first attempt after a reboot to find the printer is successful, but then asks a password for access.  Subsequent attempts are no printer.  Attempts to access the office system itself will require a password.

    I ran the XP Wizard to re - establish home and office networking on the laptop and the desktop computer.  Two machines can be, the Office can see the computer laptop and netbook and their files and printers, but the laptop cannot access anything be it on the desktop (password required) Although it can access the netbook.  All the machines were restarted (several times).

    Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this strange behavior between the laptop and the desktop computer.

    Problem solved!

    I don't know why I didn't think this earlier. The problem has been that I have constantly asked me a password for the user Dall640m\Guest. I finally thought, "why not get rid of user Dell640m\Guest?

    So, I run the Configuration Wizard from the network on both systems and passed under the names of DELL8400 and Dell640m of new names computers, changed the comment, has changed the name of the Working Group, then restarted both.  My hope was that starting a new network with a "totally clean slate" might work. I knew that, at all least, Dell640m\Guest username would not access to the network, so it was worth a try. Fortunately, it worked.

    My access to shared files and printers.

  • Cannot access on the desktop, the laptop readers.

    I have two computers running Win 7 Ultimate. 1 desktop and 1 laptop. I'm running through a Netgear wireless router. Office is hard wired to the router via an ethernet connection. The laptop has a wireless connection. I also have a cable for color laser printer to the router via an ethernet connection.

    The laptop can see the desktop and can access the printer and some of the hard disks on the desktop. The laptop can detect and access G: and H: drives on the desktop but not C: D: E: and Z: drives. G: and H: drives are located on an external USB disk door. The other drives are connected internally to the desktop. Trying to access drives unaccessable to the desktop, I get the following error message.

    "Windows cannot access \\DESKTOP\Desktop C:.  You are not allowed to access \\DESKTOP\Desktop c. contact your network administrator to request access. »

    The office displays the icon of the laptop in the network, but I get the same error message when I try to access the laptop, but the laptop is overridden to desktop in the above error message. The error code is: 0 x 80070035.

    All readers have enabled file sharing and permissions set for everyone. In fact each player is set up exactly the same thing, and both computers are set up exactly the same except for the name of the computer (eg. Mobile - Office).

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello Edawood,

    I suggest check to ensure that all services of collective housing began and then retry the connection:

    Open the services menu by clicking Start and then type "services.msc" then on enter.

    Locate the following services in the list:

    ·         DNS client

    ·         Function Discovery Provider Host

    ·         Function Discovery Resource Publication

    ·         Peer networking grouping

    ·         HomeGroup provider

    ·         HomeGroup listener

    ·         SSDP Discovery

    ·         UPnP device host

    Sure they were launched and retry the connection.

    To start the service, double click on it and press the 'start' button in the dialog box that appears.

    I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

  • When I access a shared drive on my desktop from my laptop, WINDOWS SECUITY not WILL NOT stop asking PASSWORD INTERNET

    I read the exact message of 2010 covering this topic completely, and it was NOT resolved, then, or now.  5 years later, STILL not resolved because, like them, I tried Microsoft's answer and it still doesn't (turn off password protected sharing) as my has been extinguished.

    For the last year it wasn't a problem, then all of a sudden, it will be NOT SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

    I have a laptop and desktop computer in my house. same mfg, same type of model, etc., same OS, WIN 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.

    My office is in my office, laptop is in the bedroom. Since my office is more powerful, I have several TB of STORAGE of USB on the desktop, on the laptop in the room, I remote in the laptop desk console, control and exploit office and the drive of the laptop. .

    To last year, when a shared has been evaluated, there NEVER DEMAND for Internet password until about a month.  But now he more furious than h... l as he won't stop asking the internet password, every start, every player.

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE WIN 7 SHUT UP!.  May remember the password as he says he will?

    It says "click the box to store references" What's this? A joke of Microsoft?

    One could think at the time of Win 7 came out, it would have been set.  But even on this Forum, 5 years later I asked the same question they asked in 2010 of this Forum.

  • Can I install photoshop on my two desktops and my laptop?

    Can I install Lightroom & Photoshop on my two desktops and my laptop?

    Install and activate are two different things.

    You can install the software on as many computers as you want.

    However you can activate the software to be used on up to two computers at the same time.

    You can switch power on and off activation via Help > Sign Out (and help > Sign In)

    In other words, you can alternate two activations between three computers according to the computer on which you use both. The software won't let you activate the 3rd until you disable one of the other two.

    I would like to set up local access to some desktop computers, but want to use the option of manual control (pg 254 of the admin View 4.6 guide) I released the base image which was published on the forwarding server, but when a user try to complete the payment process they get the error "a connection to the forwarding server could not be established.

    My security server firewall is configured to allow the ports on the JMS, JMSIR, AJP13 connection server, http, https and PCoIP but how to configure the forwarding server to adapt to configuration or are there alternatives to opening ports on the server to transfer inside the LAN of business if I want to just use it for access in local mode

    Hi Mobcdi,

    Option 1 (tunnel) description says "network traffic is routed via the view connection server or a server security if one is configured."

    Sequence - 1 is seems more correct, but with slight modifications.

    Form SS must be a SSL connection to TS, because all local traffic is routed directly between the SS and TS

    Firewall rules of back-end on Page 61 of the www. VMware.com/pdf/view-46-architecture- planning.pdf said

    "If you configure the connection to the server display to use SSL for operations in local mode and office supply, security servers using port 443 for downloads and the replication between the local mode desktops and server transfer."
