    Setting up Remote Desktop

    Yes, after this I shall go to the board and write 50 times, "I must write down what the kind gentlemen on Sysopt tell me, even if it was years ago!"

    By that, you'll gather that I need to get the old standby back in the fold and become a remote desktop.
    HOW?
    I tried the 192.169.1.67 but it didn't work. I want the main PC to be the Guv'nor and just use the old workhorse for down/up load.
    I have allowed full sharing on both machines.

    *** "What's that" you say, "have you finally got your main PC up and running again?"
    YES kind sirs, I'm just waiting for Seagate, Seagate & Seagate & Co,. Ltd (Inc) to send me the replacement.

    docusk.

    ps I spoke - at Seagate - to a young lady called Eugenie. She sounded Gorgeous to me , old Satyr that I am (well, maybe used to be about 40 years ago!) and solved my RMA problem in minutes.
    Please note the above does not denote that I am a 100% expert on Seagate Barracuda SATA II 500 Gigabyte hard drives.

    Oh what it is to have friends!
    Refurbished Computer.
    Gigabyte EP32-DS3L MOBO; 4Gb SDRAM; Intel EP8200 Core2Duo 2.6 CPU; HIPER PSU; Arctic Cool Freezer7Pro cooler; CD-R/RW; 2 X Western Digital 500 Gb SATA HDD plus Seagate 250 Gb HDD plus usual items. Windows 7 home premium.

    Too much junk in your post....please start from the beginning or whichever you issue you'd like to address...

    Remote desktop or something to do with hard drives.

    Thank you.

    What OSes are you running? Not all OSes allow remote desktop. Remote Assistance is different.

    Sharing has nothing to do with RDP.

    If you have a third party firewall, we need to know that too.

    Odds are you got an error message
    Posting the contents of the message is a good idea.
