SManZ[OP] initial post: ↑

I want to create a home PC/laptop setup over the next few months but I don't even know if what I am thinking of is possible.

I want to buy a new high-end gaming desktop PC and a run of the mill laptop. What I want to do is to be able to turn on my desktop and use it via the laptop on the couch or whereever. The only thing that I would do this way is websurfing, chat, and email. So basically, I turn on the laptop and it connects to the desktop, and I use the laptop as a remote display and input device for the desktop.

Is this even possible? I don't really care if I need a cable link to do this, though wireless would be preferred. If it can be done, what hardware/software would I need?

-Thanks!

tcBob is absolutely correct....RDP is the way to go but why do you want to connect to your desktop from your laptop ???

Please feel free to PM me for my number.

I work as a Systems Engineer in Manassas and live in Woodbridge so I am pretty close to you.

I have no problems helping a fellow Tacoma owner out with his home network....
