Then you can use the already installed Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe) or any Linux client to controll it.<br /> <br /> =What do you need?=<br /> <br /> *A Raspberry Pi, model B.<br /> *A boot SD card for the Raspberry Pi.<br /> *A network connection (Ethernet or WiFi).<br /> *Special software on both the Raspberry Pi and the remote, controlling computer<br /> <br /> =What skill level is required?=<br /> <br /> This project does not require any coding or compilation. Very basic Linux and networking knowledge would be useful, but not essential.<br /> <br /> You need to...<br /> *Install software<br /> *Enter basic Linux commands<br /> *Use standard software tools (Windows/Linux/Mac) to add software to your PC<br /> *Connect computers using ethernet cables<br /> <br /> =How does it work?=<br /> <br /> The commands described below start a &quot;virtual&quot; graphical session. It allows a user to controll mouse, keyboard and screen on a remote Raspberry Pi to use it from the standard Windows Remote Desktop Client och any RDP client for other operating systems. <br /> <br /> =Overview of this project=<br /> You need to<br /> *Install XRDP (X Remote Desktop Protocol) server software on the Raspberry Pi<br /> *Start the XRDP server software<br /> *Run a Remote Desktop Client on another computer<br /> *Connect over a network from your computer to the Raspberry Pi<br /> <br /> =Instructions=<br /> Log in to your Pi and install the Vino Package<br /> $ sudo apt-get install xrdp<br /> <br /> Reboot the Raspberry Pi<br /> <br /> Run the Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) from the startmenu in windows.<br /> <br /> In the Computer box type in the address of the Raspberry Pi and press Connect.<br /> <br /> Enter the username and password you want to log in on and you are done.<br /> <br /> You are now working in a session that isn't seen on the Raspberry Pi screen.<br /> <br /> If you run Linux you have many different client options to choose between, I use to use the Remmina Client or the Vinagre RDP client.<br /> <br /> Then use &lt;Your Pi IP&gt;:1 (e.g. 192.168.1.2:1) as the host name when connecting.&lt;ref&gt;You can put your raspberry pi in /etc/hosts on Linux systems. I think you can make such a file on windows too. Then you can refer to your raspberry pi as &quot;rpi&quot; or whatever you called it.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;references /&gt;</div>
