Interact with computer from anywhere, as if you were sitting in front of it.

In order to connect to your computer from outside the institute, you can use a so-called remote desktop connection. This allows you to display your computer screen as if you were sitting in front of it at the institute.

You may first need to install a small program on your lab computer that will allow to show your screen elsewhere. Please ask the DSI to install a remote desktop server.

Sitting elsewhere, you will install a remote desktop client on your other computer (the one you want to physically sit in front of). You will then initiate a VPN connection to the institute, turn on your client, enter the ip address of your lab computer, and voilĂ !

Now in detail, here is how things should go like on your computer.
