Remote Desktop Connection
You can control a running terminal server or another computer (Windows 95 or later) remotely through a
remote desktop connection.
z Remote Desktop
Windows 7 Professional or Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server must be installed on the
computer to be controlled remotely. This computer is called a host.
A remote computer running on an operating system later than Windows 95 is required. This
remote computer is called
a client. The client software for the remote desktop connection must be
installed on the client.
You must also be connected to the Internet. A broadband Internet connection is good for high
performance. However, because the remote desktop transmits a minimum set of data including
the display data and keyboard data to control the host remotely, a broadband Internet
connection is not required. You can run a remote desktop on a low bandwidth Internet
connection.
When running a remote desktop on Windows 7 Professional, you cannot use the operating
system of your computer.
z Enabling Your Computer as the Host
You must enable the Remote Desktop feature to control it from another computer. You must be
logged on as an Administrator or a member of the Administrators group to enable Remote
Desktop on your computer. Follow these steps:
1 Open the System folder in the Control Panel.
2 Go to [Start Control Panel System and Security System], and click Remote
settings.
3 If you want to block other PCs from accessing your PC using Remote Desktop or
RemoteApp, select “Don't allow connections to this computer”.
z To allow a remote PC to access your PC using any version of Remote Desktop or RemoteApp,
select "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less
secure)". This option is suitable if you do not know the Remote Desktop Connection version
being used on other PCs. Note that this option is less secure than the next option (option 3).

requiring a network level authentication, select "Allow connections only from computers
