    That is so sad. So so sad. I would like to have things setup now so I can see dual monitors.

    Unfortunately, the remote desktop that is included with XP pro doesn't support multi-monitor setups. The newest version of remote desktop (included with windows vista) does support multi-monitors. But if you're not running vista you won't be able to use multi-monitors in a remote session.

    See here is also my problem. I tried logging into my work PC. It has a multi monitor setup. And when I went to see the second monitor, I could not. What gives?

    I tired it, but I want to be able to see that I have two screens attached to my PC like I do.

    Ah yes, that is one limitation of RDC v5.1 (the version included w/ XP). RDC v6.0, which is included with Windows Vista, has support for multi-monitor setups. This doesn't help you very much though. If you really need to be able to see both monitors then VNC seems to be your only option.

    OK I get what you say here, but, I wonder if or what port needs to be open up for me. Also, I am wondering if I can use a VNC viewer to see the PC or does it matter?

    RDC uses port 3389 and no you can't use a VNC viewer (as far as I know), just the microsoft RDC client.

    Yes but if I am coming in from work, they have VNC clients that I have to use. Also, the last time I used the one in XP Pro it was a little tricky to setup. I also have a mac I use to log into my XP so I would need something that I can get in that way as well.

    I'll throw another vote out for logmein.com but if you don't want to use them that's understandable.

    Just out of curiosity, is the box in question running windows xp pro? If so, you should consider using remote desktop instead of VNC. Remote desktop is built into every XP pro box and IMO works MUCH better than VNC.

    I do worry however with websites and things and if they will stick around. How long has LogMeIn been around?

    I'd also say give LogMeIn a shot. I've used both UltraVNC and LogMeIn (Haven't used RealVNC) and I liked both. LogMeIn is really nice if you don't want to install a client on every machine you have, you just need to make sure the service is running on the box you want to connect to. It's a web based client. The only thing the Pro version offers that interests me (unless they added new stuff that I haven't seen yet) is the file transferring.

    I'd definitely say try it out, it was also pretty quick for me.

    OK here is what I want. I want a VNC server that will run on my home PC so I can get to it from work. I want to have it be 32bit viewable so I can see the best picture for my buck. I also want something that will not leave my network with a hole for hackers and things. I want the best out there. I have used real VNC which I like bcause the 64 char password. Ultra VNC is nice because I can see video where as on Real VNC I can not. I want the best of both worlds here. I am wanting the password to be safe and not hackable but I also want to be able to view everything like I was at home.
