what is RDP?
* Reliable Datagram Protocol, also known as Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP) * Remote Desktop Protocol, a remote access network protocol developed by Microsoft.I think you mean Remote Desktop - and what can I do with it? I assume one of the things you can do with it is transfer files...? I have never used that feature of windows. I happen to have a Filezilla FTP Server configured on my desktop, so that would probably be the easiest form of file transfer. I am just not sure how it would work. would there be two computers on localhost? or one of them on a static IP I would guess... or can I DHCP them both and each get its own IP address from the router (that would be weird)? thanks for your time. can it access a USB stick? I wouldn't mind using that for "shared" disk space. (leave it plugged in). I am also considering the realities and possibilities that I may need a 750W power supply. =:-O ________________________________ From: David C.
