Does RemotelyAnywhere work under Vista?

[FragTek]

Just curious... I installed it this morning and the install went fine and the program seemed to load up just fine and web interface also seemed to work. That's as far as I got however before I had to take off for work.

I'd like to be able to control my comp from work. Anyone know if the screen-sharing works on Vista through RA? Really hope it does.

On another note, can non-Vista Window's OS's still RDC to Vista or not? That might be another option if it works.

Thx in advance for any insight.

I can RDC to XP under Vista but not tried it the other way. Certainly I can file share very easily

i should think RD connection will work both ways, there was an updated version for xp on windows update not long ago.

I wonder if Win2k > Vista RDC will work?

Wait, does 2k even have RDC?

in a word, yes.

But its not called RDC

It has mstsc if you installed it.

I didn't install the OS unfortunately, it's a work compy... I would imagine it would be installed. Well, maybe not. I was thinking that the IS guys doe fixes through screensharing but they usually just send someone from the department to do it in person. And the guys out in the field use PCAnywhere last I heard.

I'll have to look in to this, thanks.

Can you do this from your laptop outside to your home computer too? If so can somebody teach me?
