How does this work over a network? Have an old machine with all our back up HDD's in under the stairs connected to network. How would i use remote desktop to access this, with out having to move it to a screen, keyboard etc etc. at work they use PC Anywhere to access remote machines, without anyone having to access the other machine to accepect the connection. Im sure theres summing in windows to do this. ????

Remote desktop, just enable it in system properties then use the client on another computer to connect.

VNC basically takes control of the remote devices keyboard/mouse and displays the video output to you. Remote desktop creates a new session on the remote device

depends which OS you're on does it not? if you use RD to an XP machine for example it'll lock out the machine, the server OS's will let you have afew sessions on the go. not that it'll matter much if its just sat under some stairs.

you can download it VNC HERE

just install it on the computer under the stairs then on any machines you want to access it from.

alternatively, it may be easier just to share the drives, then map them on your machine unless you're using the computer for other things

VNC would be far better for your setup.

Make sure you open firewall port 5900 (I think) on the "understairs" machine

Why are people saying VNC is better (genuine question, not sarcastic)?

I've got a server i use for cctv and dl torrents and remote desktop works perfectly without me installing anything else.

I've used VNC previously and in certain situations it can be better but don't see how here.
