How to start a remote desktop session on vista?

Hi, i recently wanted to find out how to make my own remote desktop server/session. Like for example, my school has one. I start run, type in mstsc and then type in my school's server. I want to be able to connect to my own remote desktop.|||You might try installing netviewer instead of remote desktop. It's free for private users and it will take care of all firewall issues. No need to bother with port forwarding or anything, making it also useable when you don't have access to the firewall settings.|||first go to portforward.com and find your modem and setup forwarding ports if you want to access away from home outside of your network. Within your network or home, just use RDP, make sure you have remote desktop enable(use control panel or right click computer and select properties then choose remote settings), type in the computer name or ip on the network, found by using ipconfig in command prompt. WIll be something like 192.168.1.***. enter that with(if a password is need for user) the computer password(what you login with) and there you go.|||First you need to enable Remote Administration on your Windows Vista Pc. Right click the My Computer or Computer icon and choost properties button. Click "Remote Settings" on the left side and then make sure that Allow Remote Commections is checked and I usually use the middle security setting. This puts your Vista PC in a mode to listen for Remote Desktop on TCP 3389.
