If everything works right you should see something like the picture below. Go to: Start>Connect To>Show All Connections>Then click on your LAN connection>Support something, IDK what your config is but edit that connection and get the IP of your server (the local IP 192.168.1.000 or whatever it may be) and place the server IP in the remote server box and click OK. Make sure that there is one account per thin client terminal, these accounts MUST have a password, otherwise they will not work!Ĭonfiguring- Well go ahead and start up your thin client and it should come up to some kind of connection window, with windows CE (If you have a Compaq Evo you may have to reset it, all you have to do to reset it is, hold down G while turning on the thin client) Now,go to the connection editor, the default should be named something like RDP test or RDP.

RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol which is a handy way to connect to a computer from a remote location, say you are on buisness and you go OH CRAP you forgot a document on your home computer, all you have to do is have the computer turned on then connect to it from your laptop or whatever you are carrying with you, get the file and email it to your self and Finito! you are now out of hot water and you can brag to your friends. Your solution? A Thin client.A THIN WHAT?Ī thin client, a thin client is basically a stripped down computer that is used as a window to the Terminal Server, some use complex platforms to connect to the server, but today I am using RDP because that was the easiest for me (and cheapest).
