Desktop-sharing between Linux and XP?
Hi:)
Can anyone tell me how I can controll an XP-desktop through my LAN? I've got 2 computers, one with XP and one with RedHat 9.0. BTW: my windows-computer has a ISDN-connection, so I'm using it as a gateway. The only problem is I have to manually connect to the internet even though I have configured it to connect to internet automaticly when a computer on the LAN is trying to connect to internet. I know it's kind of a Windows question, but maybe it has something to do with my distro also. This is why I want to controll my XP-desktop, if I don't get the automatic connection thingy working. plz reply folx:) Redhat newbie:P |
If all you want to do is executing some commands on the XP machine, I suggest a quick'n'dirty walkaround: if you have a directory shared among your PCs (e.g. via Samba):
on xp, name this remotedaemon.bat and have it execute at boot time: Code:

As an alternative, you can run a full openSSh server on windows, see here:

If you install a vnc server, you will able to view the desktop, point and click etc.
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html <- run this on the XP box install something like tightvncviewer (apt-get install xtightvncviewer on debian, other distros find your packages however you do...) then you can use xvncviewer <xp host address> to connect to the box using point and click. |
