You will first need to set up permissions for remote access to your machine. This can normally be done by right-clicking My Computer – Properties – Remote tab. Here you can check the appropriate boxes. You may more than likely also need to set up an access rule on your firewall to allow RDP in your exceptions list. I know this is an old post but hopefully this will also help others.

I stumbled upon your site looking for reviews of winadmin for iphone. I don’t have an iphone yet but have thought about it for remote support for work without carrying a laptop.

Thought I’d mention a few mac things. Cord is another rdp client for mac that is quite good, free and open source. http://cord.sourceforge.net/index.html
Also, all macs have a vnc server and client built in (leopard). Server is called “Screen Sharing” under system preferences and the client can be found in in System/Library/CoreServices/ScreenSharing.

thanks for the review
