Solve : Remote Desktop Connection failed!?

1.	Solve : Remote Desktop Connection failed!?
Answer» Hey there guys, I use VNC software to connect to my desktop computer remotely using my laptop. On most networks I can connect, but when I try to connect from my college I can't. I think the ports used by VNC are blocked on the network, but SOMEHOW my school uses Remote Desktop Connection to allow students to connect their virtual drives to extract school work. I understand if I connect from school to virtual drive then it probably a local IP, but I can also connect from home which means the ports for RDC should be open. Do you guys know of any way to access my desktop pc at home using my laptop in college? Is there an application that would bypass the ports or anything? Thanks in advance.ultimatum, Did you ask someone at the school about this? Did they SAY NO WAY! And did you come here to tray and get around the limits they put on how the school equipment is to be used? What do you need from your Desktop that will not fit on a USB flash drive? Yes, if you have a real need to get remote accuse in a hardened location, it can be done. But I suspect that you wee looking for something free, cheap, easy and lazy. Am I right?You could use logmein https://secure.logmein.com/go.asp?page=home&lang=en if your willing to pay for it - seventy bucks a year. There is a free trial.
