Is there any way to access Remote Desktop by dialing straight into the computer?
This is the basic scenario I want to be able to do:
I run a web server on my computer, and I leave my DSL connection on all the time. Since I use PPPOE to connect to my provider, if the connection is lost, my server goes down. I have already set it to redial if the connection is dropped, and to redial 32767 times until it connects. However, sometimes the connection gets dropped and Windows doesn't redial.
I can access my computer through Remote Desktop if it's connected to the internet, but if the connection is lost and Windows decides not to redial, I won't be able to connect to it without having to dial in over a regular phone line.
Can I make Remote Desktop work by using some kind of dial-up server, or other connection? I'd like to avoid using PCAnywhere or LapLink.
Thanks in advance.
