RWW Shortcut

My boss wants a quick shortcut on his home computer to go directly to his
computer via RWW rather than going through connect to user and then selecting
his computer. Is there a way to do this?

Only two ways I know of how to do this

1 Change his PC to A Static IP,
Change the Listening Port of his PC at work from something other than 3389
Open up port 338X on your Firewall

If this is a 2 NIC SBS you need to pass it though to his IP
Create a RDP Connection on his desktop to his PC at work.

Other than that
Buy him PC Anywhere? or some other solution logmein etc.
But even those make you login.

Sorry he has to jump through the hoops.

Never tried this with a PC, but it works with a Terminal Server.

Put a hardware VPN between the Boss and the Office. Since the tunnel to the
network is already configured, you can RDP directly to the TS, and it should
work for the PC as well. The RDC is for the IP address, which for a server
is static, so you may need to make the PC static as well.

Will possibly / probably work with the appropriate Mobile User VPN clients
that are software based.

I do it fine with a software VPN.
Its a two step process but quicker than RWW.
Connect VPN (2 secs), click on saved RDP shortcut, your in.

To clarify/amplify, you can leave some VPN tunnels up and still surf the
web, some you cannot, the tunnel restricts your target to the device at the
other end, so you have to close the tunnel to surf.

And, you will have to give your credentials when you hit the target, user
name and pass phrase (strong).
