Hi Group,

I have a wireless home network which consists of 2 pda's, 3 laptop's and a
desktop machine. The desktop machine controlls music in a home theatre
which is split out throughout the house to in-wall speakers. I would like
to use a PC-anywhere type program or terminal services to emulate the
desktop of the desktop machine on my PDA so I can controll the music from
anywhere in the house. I tried terminal services but it didn't seem to work
to well, I had some logon issues, etc.... Does anyone have any
recommendations?

Thank-you

Rich

'The desktop machine controls music in a home theater'; outputting to
speakers, right? Ok..

Would you care to explain -why- you think a "home theater" (as you claim to
own) -needs- a "desktop machine"? For that matter, why use a "PDA" as a
Remote??

You write for "reccommendations"..; well, I've several!:

Sounds like a valid question to me. Home theater PC's have the ability to
store thousands of MP3's and double as a regular PC, among other things. I
don't really have an answer for you Rich, but there is a new Viewsonic touch
screen monitor that connects wirelessly to your desktop to remotely control
it, though it is pricey (999.99 for a 10 inch screen). Why don't you use a
laptop to do what you want wirelessly? I guess its much more to carry
around.
