I use Remote Desktop on my Win 7 PC to controld a second PC running Windows XP. I want the XP machine to use its own connection to the Internet, which is a wireless connection but it continues to use the Win 7 connection even thogh I followed all the directions in the help on how to eliminate that. Can soemone advise please? Regards Kishon Following is the quted Help from MSDN "Disable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) If you have previously enabled Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), and you decide to use a router instead of ICS to share an Internet connection among two or more computers, you'll need to disable ICS. Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clickingManage network connections. Right-click the shared connection, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Click the Sharing tab, clear the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box, and then click OK."

when you are wireless, the network will attempt to use the best connections Windows MVP, paid Remote Assistance is available for XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Hi Kishon, Thanks for the post! When you remote on that Windows XP machine, you're already use the Windows XP network connection, not Windows 7. How did you know it uses Windows 7 connection? As a test, remote on that Windows XP, open Local Area Connection Status on both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Then download something like 10M size. Comparing the Bytes on both machines, then you'll figure out which connection you're using when remote.
