how can i get a server or whatever remote desktop connection requires for the 2 computers in my room that are connected only by a network(they have no interenet) b/c im getting tired of moving the moniter plug from one computer to another (i only have one moniter for them atm) and im tried of using remote assistance for that too...so how might i get this to work properly?  bother computers have windows xp home edition. thanks !

I don't know how to use Remote Desktop, I always use UltraVnc (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net) and it works great! You can register UltraVnc as a service and control everything, including remote file transfer by lan or internet.
"UltraVNC is an easy to use, fast and free sotware that can display the screen of another computer (via internet or network) on your own screen. The program allows you to use your mouse and keyboard to control the other PC remotely. It means that you can work on a remote computer, as if you were sitting in front of it, right from your current location.

UltraVNC key features include FileTransfer, Video Driver, Encryption Plugins, MS Logon, high performances over all kinds of connections, Viewer Toolbar, JavaViewer with FileTransfer, autoscaling and serverside scaling, Multiple Monitors support, Repeater/proxy support, good Security and Text Chat."

Radmin V2.2 is great... i love it...

radmin = remote admin

I rate log me in. It's seriously the best. It's got a free option + a 30day  free trial of the profeesional.

which one is the best...i dont know ...i was justtrying to see how remote desktop connection that comes with widows works but tell me what yall think is the best off brand remote desktop connection (which is free and no trials).

radmin is free... well u can register it but as far as i know it doesnt run out....

EDIT: oh it is 30 day trial... but you can alwasy "buy" it
