Re: Connecting WDSC through Remote Desktop

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom - you are always connecting to something - either a real PC as I 
do, or to a Terminal Server. The latter could be what you think of as 
a virtual pc, although it is more like logging in and running on that 
machine with the screens being sent back to your home pc. I'm sure 
I'm off on the details.

You can use WDSC if you have it on that machine at the office - you 
can be running WDSC on your home machine - but you can't save from 
your home machine to the one at the office - i don't think, anyway - 
unless it is set up so that you can see the office drives on your 
home machine - not sure that you can do that - you CAN make your home 
drives visible to the office machine with Remote Desktop client.

You also might not be actually on the office network when using RD - 
if there's a terminal server in the mix, you are isolated from the 
actual network behind it. But you need to talk to the network folks 
to be sure - i'm kind of guessing now.
