| | Vista Home Premium Remote Desktop Question I've seen several posts concerning the inability to Remote Access a Vista (x86) Home Premium machine. I can easily access my Vista desktop from an MCE2005 XP machine using Live Mesh -- at least from behind the NAT on my home network. Am I to understand that this is definitively not possible from a remote computer over the internet? If it is possible can someone please summarize? |

| | Re: Vista Home Premium Remote Desktop Question SOLVED I wanted to close this one out and provide info to anyone else that might be interested. I was able to make TeamViewer work and will continue to play with it. More importantly, for me, I noticed in the post below that Windows Live Mesh might not require any additional configuration of the router to work remotely from outside the local network. I went out to another location and it does work successfully. I have used Mesh for sometime locally and can recommend it.
