How to Use Windows Remote Desktop

Diposkan oleh Ali on Saturday, December 08, 2012

In this tutorial, we'll go step-by-step to show you how to connect to a remote computer. We'll discover the different addresses we can enter into the client program, to establish the remote connection. In addition, we'll figure out how to bring up the remote connection via a Web browser.

Connecting to Your PC with the Traditional Client

Now you're all ready to remotely connect to your PC either from another computer on your network or from any computer on the Internet. First, we'll connect using the traditional client program (called Remote Desktop Connection) that's installed by default on most Windows versions.

Start>All Programs>Accessories>Remote Desktop Connection

Once the program loads, you can enter the path to your Remote Desktop PC into the Computer field and hit the Connect button. It's that simple. You have, though, a few different items you can use as a path, which include:

Computer Name: This is the Computer Name value of the computer that Windows uses to help you identify computers on a local network. You can use this only when you are on the same network as the Remote Desktop computer, not if you are connecting from a computer outside your home or office. You can find this value on a computer by right-clicking the My Computer or Computer icon on your desktop or the Start menu, clicking Properties, and if in Windows XP, you need to click the Computer Name tab. Windows Remote Desktop.
Local IP Address: This number (such as 192.168.1.103) also helps identify computers on a local network, and it is used by the network components when sending and receiving data. Like with the Computer Name; you can use this only when you are on the same network. You can find a computer's IP address by looking through the network connection status details in Windows.
Internet IP Address: This number is the IP address of your Internet connection or modem, assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), used to identify computers or networks on the Web. This is the number you want to use when connecting to your Remote Desktop PC when away from the home or office. You can find your Internet IP address on your router's status pages, under the WAN or Internet section, or you can Google it to be detected by a Web site service. A word of caution: Your Internet IP changes, anywhere from daily to monthly, if you have a dynamic IP address. This type of address is typical on most residential, and even small business, Internet connections. You can call your ISP to see if you have a dynamic IP address or a static address.
Domain or Host Name: If you have a dynamic IP address (or you don't want to remember a static address), it's best to use a domain or host name to connect to your Remote Desktop PC. This requires signing up for a service (a few free ones are DynDNS, FreeDNS.afraid.org, and No-IP) and configuring your router with your account details so your host name stays updated when your IP address changes.

Connecting to Your Windows XP PC via Web Browser

Wrapping It Up

Now you should be able to remote into your PC from the next room or from around the globe. If you run into problems and can't connect using the client program or the Web access page doesn't load, double check your firewall and router settings.

We'll leave you with a few tips to commit to memory:

Remember your PC must be plugged in and turned on to remotely connect to it. Remember to disable any automatic sleep, hibernation, or stand-by features on your PC.
Keep Windows up-to-date with critical and recommended updates to make sure you're protected from the latest known security holes.
Make sure Windows Firewall, or another third-party solution, is always on and protecting against hackers.
Even when connecting to a PC via the Web browser, the host computer must also have the traditional Remote Desktop feature enabled.

With Remote Desktop Connection, you can access a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that is connected to the same network or to the Internet. For example, you can use all of your work computer's programs, files, and network resources from your home computer, and it's just like you're sitting in front of your computer at work.

To connect to a remote computer, that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled, you must have network access to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. For permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. The steps below include adding names to that list.

Backup and Restore—improved for Windows 7—creates safety copies of your most important personal files, so you're always prepared for the worst.

Let Windows choose what to back up, or pick individual folders, libraries, and drives yourself. Windows can back up files on whatever schedule you choose—just set it and forget it.

You can back up to another drive or a DVD. And if you're using the Professional or Ultimate editions of Windows 7, you'll also have the option of backing up your files to a network.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH VINYL WINDOWS?"

Diposkan oleh Ali

Vinyl windows have always been viewed as an inexpensive solution to replacing deteriorating, drafty-old wood windows. Property owners need to be aware that if you ask a vinyl window salesman if he thinks your windows are in bad shape and should be replaced, he of course, will tell you that they do. He sells vinyl windows for a living. He probably doesn't know how to repair wood windows, therefore, in his mind, they must be replaced.
Original wood windows are important architectural features in any historic building. They are the "eyes" of the structure. They convey a sense of hand-craftsmanship and detail that cannot be achieved with substitute materials. Usually windows are replaced if they begin having operational problems: they stick or rattle, latches break, glass is broken, sash cords break and the windows have to be held open with a stick, they let in too much outside air, or my personal favorite, they need to be painted. (Remember, there is no such thing as a "maintenance-free" building). These problems are the simplest, most cost-effective to fix. More often than not, windows can be pragmatically repaired, or just fine-tuned to operate correctly and last another hundred years. The following paragraphs will outline why vinyl windows are problematic.
The inherent problems with vinyl windows are many and varied; but by far the most insidious is this: once this "rip out and replace" cycle begins, it continues for the remainder of the building's life, especially when the original wood windows end up in the landfill. Here are just a few of the problems associated with vinyl windows, and why they're not "maintenance-free."

While it's true that they don't require painting (I don't think you could paint them if you wanted to), they are not a rigid material like wood, thus they shrink in cold weather, and expand in hot weather. What does this mean ? For example, vinyl begins to soften and distort at 165 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a temperature that's easily reached in the space between a window and drapes on a sunny day (winter or summer). And though all windows expand and contract with temperature changes, vinyl expands more than twice that of wood. It expands seven times farther than glass with each degree of temperature. This can cause the seal between the vinyl framework and the glass to fail. The problem increases with the size of the window; the bigger the sash, the sooner it fails. Can a vinyl window be repaired ? No.
Vinyl windows have only been around about 20 years. Will they survive for a hundred ? No one knows, but studies prove that many of these windows installed since the early 1980s are failing at an alarming rate. In 1996 there were fewer than ten major window manufacturers in the U.S.; but there were more than 3,000 different companies producing windows. Roughly half of the replacement windows sold in the United States are vinyl. Some come with a 10, 20 or 30 year, or even a lifetime warranty. Sometimes that warranty is not transferable to a new property owner. And, with so many manufacturers, when warranty time comes, will they still be around ?
A big selling point of vinyl windows is double or triple glazed (insulating) sash (two or three panes of glass). These units are manufactured with desiccant filled spacers between the glass panes and sealed on the outside with butyl rubber or silicone. All insulated glass units will eventually fail because no sealant stops all moisture penetration. Eventually the desiccant absorbs all it can, and the window becomes cloudy, forever. Conventional wisdom indicates that only marginal heat loss is recovered using insulated glass. As much as 85% of air infiltration (or heat loss) is around the edges of the sash, not through the glass. Energy savings realized by replacing single-glazed windows with insulated windows seldom justifies the replacement cost. Another study indicates it would take more than 50 years to recover the expense; and with an average expected life of 25 years or less, insulated glass units hardly make economic sense.
Two other small but significant points. The first is environmental: wood is a renewable resource, unlike vinyl, which is a petroleum product. The second is economics: do you need to spend the money on replacement windows when you or someone else can repair them ? (Look for a wood window repair workshop in the near future, here in Newport).

With the aforementioned inherent problems associated with vinyl windows, it's clear that vinyl replacement windows shouldn't be a viable option. In my mind, two options exist: 1) repair the existing wood sash, or 2) replace the historic sash in-kind with wood, matching the existing exactly, i.e., size, light configuration (one-over-one, two-over-two, etc.), rail and stile profile, muntin profile (if any), etc. I usually use the 50% rule, i.e., if a window sash is less than 50% deteriorated, it probably is cost effective to save it. If more than 50% deteriorated, I would consider replacement with new wood sash.
Here are some key things to think about when proposing to repair or upgrade historic wood windows. Complete a survey of each window in the building. Start a notebook, identifying problems and potential remedies for each window. Do one elevation of the building at a time, floor by floor. Evaluate the outside of the window unit as well, including exterior trim. You should be able to do this in a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon. This will become a permanent record for each window. You may find only a few need any wood repair at all, while others need to be scraped, primed and painted, others need to be weather-stripped, or have sash cords replaced, some may need new glazing putty, and most importantly, consider storm windows for the entire building. Not only do they protect the sash from weather, thus requiring less maintenance, they do offer some insulating characteristics as they seal off potential air infiltration problems.
One final thought: from personal experience, I grew up in a 1920s Colonial Revival with beautiful six-over-six wood sash. When I was old enough, my father taught me how to reglaze and keep the exterior sash and window trim well painted. This house, like many of yours, had more than thirty windows. He taught me that I only needed to do one elevation a summer. It was an excellent way to break down a huge task into a manageable summer project. Consider it on your building.
I would be glad to guide you through the process. Don't be intimidated by the sheer number of windows in your house. Break it down into bitesize chunks, and it won't seem so overwhelming. Contact me if you are interested in a wood window rehabilitation workshop, and we'll do one sooner rather than later.
