My money is with Budman here (Happy Birthday btw dude >.<)

He's rarely wrong, and in this case he definitely isn't.

Interesting use of a VM btw..

So your trying to circumvent you company policy? And use their bandwidth for your own needs? Yeah my help is done.. Good luck :rolleyes:

"So if i want to download an OS or a big software i just need to sign in to Teamviewer account and there is my office machine avalible"

You still have to move said OS to your network to make any use of it.. So what your doing is pretty pointless -- if just downloaded it to your home machine/network directly you would actually have use of it faster in the long run.

"when runinng systems on two different public ip's"

Um so your ubuntu box is on a PUBLIC IP? With no firewall between it and the public net, ie your company does not run any firewall between their workstations and the public net?? That would be completely and utterly ASININE!!

Here is my tip to you -- if you want to use your works bandwidth to download stuff for your own personal use -- have fun, but you would prob be better of just putting said file on your flash drive next time your in the office.. But personally I would not promote this -- sorry but no amount of perceived saving of download time is worth risking your job for misappropriate use of company resources. You having to hide the download of said anything to a vm .vhd is clearly showing that your circumventing company policy - and I would not suggest you break company policy to be honest.

Need some help with RDP..

another option is buy an Airport express, should be around 80?.

connect it to your sound system and control all your music from itunes on your desktop.

there is a software airfoil that apparently makes it work with other software like media player etc but i havent tried it.

I am sorry, I was on vacation for a while without internet access other than my blackberry and for some reason I can no longer logon to this site with my blackberry the link to logon is broken.

Anyway. Attached is a screenshot that you need to go to via local group policy on the host computer (the one you are remotting into) by running gpedit.msc at a run prompt and enable audio redirection (enable the policy circled by double clicking on it and clicking the enable radio button)

Also on the client on the computer that you are using to remote in (the remote computer, the one that is not the host computer) you need to go into the advanced features of the client and make sure audio redirection is enabled (this is enabled by default).

Thanksss for the reply, couple of things though:

> I upgraded my RAM in laptop to 4GB and upgraded OS to win 7 home premium (i.e on the client side from which i am trying to connect). Just got to know win 7 home and basic does not have Local group policy :( . what to do in this case?

The network setup is like this

  1. Remote machine - , Dad's ubuntu machine > on a private ip a bigger network (NAT) 172.xxx.xx.xx >my Virtual OS (XP) uses NAT also therefore has 192.168.1.2 range
  2. Client machine (my win 7 home premium laptop) - runs on wifi network of ADSL +2 router at my apartment. which again private ip of 192.168.1.3 (uses NAT too)

Do i need to make any changes/port forwarding or open any ports before i proceed? I have access to network router on client side but not on remote side i.e my Dad's network.

Thanks again for your help \m/

any windows home os cannot be a remote desktop host in any way shape or form. So you will not get gpedit from a xp, vista, 7 or even 8 home. gpedit must be done on the host computer, the host computer will have the option to be able to have remote access. On the remote computer you need to go to the advanced properties of the client software (this can be a windows home computer). Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate versions have the ability to be a host and a remote.

On your dads network you would need to forward port 3389 to the xp host where you would run the gpedit.msc on.

keys here: xp pro = host computer, run gpedit on to force audio on. Also the host computer will need to have remote desktop enabled. Port 3389 needs to be allowed/forwarded through the hardware firewall and possibly allowed through the software firewall for public access.

7 home = remote computer, the client will need to verify that audio is enabled by going through the advanced properties of remote desktop....this is the only thing that you need to verify on the remote computer, other than connecting to the external IP of the xp pro network.

I am so sorry, looks like ive messed it up with the client and host thing.

Remote PC= Dad's PC > has Virtual OS within VMware i.e Win XP pro and i can access gpedit for this - Audio is enabled for this now.

My Laptop (from where i am connecting) has Win 7 home premium - does not have gpedit - as a work around, do u suggest putting XP inside VM on my laptop also, so that i have access to gpedit on my win7 laptop too. which would make things complicated i guess, i should i just put a multi boot OS on different partition as Win XP pro.?

Also i do not have access to dad's router network to port forward, Can it be done through windows firewall for the Virtual OS (xp pro)??

So I don't have to type it again:

You don't run gpedit on your windows 7 computer and I recommend you leave it alone other than what is said above.

You don't have access to your dads router, just give up now. You need to forward the port on the physical network first if you cannot then rdp will not work for you as there is no middleman service for rdp. rdp is a direct connection. logmein and teamviewer are middleman services where both computers (host and remote) connect to a middleman server/service so that it works around hardware firewalls. Outbound traffic is not blocked on a standard network, inbound is. RDP on the host side is inbound and why you need to forward 3389 on the hardware first before you can think about software firewalls and opening ports/allowing apps on them.
