Remote Desktop Sharing
Remote Desktop Sharing lets users call a remote computer to access its shared desktop and applications.

When you're working at home, it's frustrating to not have access to your computer at work. In the past, even if you were able to dial in from home, you had to make sure you had all of your work software loaded on to your home computer. But not anymore. With NetMeeting, you can share your desktop to yourself using Remote Desktop Sharing, and have access to everything on your work computer while you are at home.

To configure Remote Desktop Sharing on your office computer:
  • Install NetMeeting 3.
  • In the NetMeeting Tools menu, click Remote Desktop Sharing and step through the Wizard.
  • When you're ready to leave for the day, click the Call menu, and then select Exit and Activate Remote Desktop Sharing. You can log off if you'd like -- Remote Desktop Sharing will still be running.
  • Call this computer from a different computer, type in your password, and the remote desktop will appear, ready to be used.
