EQ through microsoft remote desktop

[Sponge]

Thanks for all the ideas, however these are things I've considered already, I'm just trying to go about this in a way that if I ever got caught, I'd only get a slap on the wrist, not lose my job.

Luckily, my company likes to use MS RD to connect to offsite servers, so it enables me to use it as well for whatever I please.

One thing that I've been wondering though, if I were to use VNC from here (through the RD port), which is what I would prefer, would there be any way the traffic from VNC rather than RD would throw up any red flags? I'm not sure what kind of monitoring software they use though.

well if you are afraid of losing your job i def would not attempt to play at work, however if you want to risk it Team Viewer is always a great idea its free and the connection is encrypted. and goes around all types of firewalls.

What is the performance like on any of these setups?

I play from two locations. One location has by gaming computer -- it has no issues with eq. The other location is a netbook. I can play EQ on it, but have to turn a lot of the settings off and turn the resolution WAY down.

Question is, if I connect to my gaming PC from the netbook to play, would I be taking advantage of the "stronger" machine? Or would I still be at a disadvantage because it's a netbook?

Thanks!

naw usualy only ports monitored ... both use the TCP standard and both use encrypted connections

I'm sure if the software developers had the same type of access to the operating system's internal functions they could make something as good as RDP, but thats just the advantage of something being integrated into Windows, they can make any changes they need to inside the OS itself and be the only program hooking into them.

no advantage realy no .. since with RDP its still rendered localy ... with VNC you have a higher latency ... both are prolly not playable in a group enviorment
