Thank you all for your advice! I don't think I checked if the server service |
| 10 |
is running on the WinXP box - I remember shutting it down some years ago in |
| 11 |
an effort to increase the security of this OS. Will look at it again when I |
| 12 |
get home tonight. |

Talking about security, is the vnc method the only way to secure this |
| 15 |
communication (for both machines)? Could there be perhaps ssh tunneling |
| 16 |
established between the two boxen before the rdp protocol kicks in? |
