I am trying to use remote access to my computer on our company windows based network.
On my Vista laptop, I am able to connect to my computer at work by opening the browser an typing mail.mycompanyname.com/remote. It then lets me either look at mail only or to connect to a computer (among other options). I can then log in and virtually control my computer.
I know I cannot go through the browser to do the above with my macbookpro because of the lack of Active X, so therefore I am using the Remote Desktop Connection" which came with Office for Mac. I was hoping to be able to use a similar process described above to connect.
However, when I type the server name above, it will not connect, it tells me the "windows-based computer cannot be found". If I remove the "/remote" it will connect, lets me log in, but gives me no way to connect to my PC at work.
Any ideas?
