Blayne, dude. You have FIVE threads on the first page. Check the Microsoft help page. You don't need to post this here.

Does the laptop have Vista? If not, I don't think it's possible.

You need the latest version of the Remote Desktop app (on your school machine); you need to enable Remote Desktop on your Vista machine; you need to have the appropriate ports open on your firewall (and know your home IP); and you need to have an administrative account on your home machine.

If your school is even REMOTELY competent, by the way, they will have that traffic disabled.

5 threads on the first page? Just say NO to new topics Blayne. Also, aren't you studying computers? Shouldn't you figure out this junk for yourself?

Here's a link with all the information you need.

Of course, as Tom said, it's unlikely that your school will allow this sort of connection.
