My main desktop computer at my home network is running Windows Vista Business and my second computer, my labtop at work is running Windows Vista Business? How do I setup my main desktop computer at my home network as the server and my labtop at work as the client? I don't want to use remote desktop because that seems to decrease my system's performance when connecting remotely. Here's a little diagram: [Home -Server] ------- /FW/ ==== Internet ==== /FW/ ------- [Work - Labtop] Checklist for Remote Networking:1. Logged in to router and forwarded port 8080 (secondary http) because ISP blocks port 80 (http). 2. Forwardedport 3389 (remote desktop).2. Added a port 80 redirect that maps my hostname to my dynamic IP address that updates automatically using No-Ip.Com's dynamic DNS update client.3. Changed Windows Firewall to allow outside (http) and (remote desktop) connections.4. ???<---What else do I have to change? Now what settings do I need to change in my home desktop (server)?

All you have to do is change the DNS record from your DNS host, for example, Network Solutionsand point thatdomain to your computer's public IP Address. You can then useyour domain name asthe active windows domain name. Hope that helps
