re: Help using Remote Desktop in XP Monday, July 18, 2005 at 4:39 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Drew (5 messages posted) Thanks for the VNC information. I followed up on it and I like it and I am in the middle of setting it up. I am not sure what it wants when it asks for the host name? I am guessing it wants the IP. I am going to mess with it and hopefully I can get it working.
