I have one Q/A about the ip CONFIG?

If I am say at my work computer and I am online and I go into my ip config will it tell me the IP ADRESS of that computer so I coul find it when I go to my home computer?It will give you that information, yes...whether or not you will be allowed access to that machine is a different story altogether.I am sorry this is what I ment to say?

If I want to find what my IP Adress is for my work computer I have to be at my work computer and go into my ip config.

But when I am at my work computer befor I go into my ip config do I have tobe online.

This is how I should have asked my Q/A sorry

At work on your machine from a command prompt type in ipconfig /all and hit Enter...Ok I see 2 diferant things when I use the command ipconfig or ipconfig/all

The command ipconfig/all gives me a lot more information and one thing it says is PHYSICAL ADRESS and then a string of numbers.

Then ontop of this it has IP Adress and a string of numbers.

What set of numbers WOULD I use to setup my Windows Remote Desktop the PHYSICAL ADRESS or the one that says IP ADRESS??
Thanksyou would want the ip address. The physical address is just id number of your network card or router. So don't use the physical address
I never asked this Q/A but to run Remote Desktop the computer at home is running win xp pro but my computer at work that I will be connectting to is running win ME.

As long as my computer at home is running win xp pro I know I can use it as the remote computer.

But will I be able to connect to my work computer that is running win ME or do both computers have to run win XP PRO???
thanksHave you checked with the IT people at work who have setup that network to see if you have access and how to go about it ? ?Um, your local ip address on the work machine is not going to GET you in from home. It is most likely a non routable ip address behind a firewall, meaning it can't be seen from the internet. ALSO, I don't believe remote desktop wotks with Win ME (I could be wrong). I would definitely talk to your IT people, both for instruction, and permission.Remote Desktop goes all the way back to Win98...

SourceI own my own company and it is small.
My computer at work is the only one there and I am about to put win xp pro on it.

And my home computer and work computer use DSL.
And the only Firewall I have one both is Windows Firewall.

Now if I turn off win firewall and use the IP Adress I get from my ipconfig window why would I not be able to connect to my work computer and use Remote Desktop?

Thanks
PS .....
if I need to know more just tell me what to read up on?
