In Windows 8/8.1 if you tap the WINDOWS key and it takes you to the START screen, and then type in RDP does it bring up a RDP option. Does Win 7 do the same?slavvo67 wrote:I only boot Windows 7 (when I have to boot Windows). - Thanks, though.
If so with this pup running/booted and showing the local IP address - something like 192.168.0.3 perhaps, then running RDP on the Windows box and typing in that IP address will bring up a logon prompt. Enter root for userid and woofwoof for the password and you'll have the puppy desktop running on your Windows box. Providing the Windows machine screen resolution is > 1024x768 then the full sized puppy screen will fit quite nicely within that.
If you go to the Windows Network (neighbourhood) and your Windows network name is WORKGROUP, then most likely you'll also see PUPSERVE available and have full access to all of the puppy directory from / down. If your workgroup name is something else then you'll have to change the Samba config file on the puppy PC before starting samba so that the workgroup name coincides. Samba config is available via the little text icon near/next to the bigger Samba Server icon on desktop 1 and the 6th line down in that is where the workgroup name is set.
I guess you could say that if you're running a 4 core Windows machine and have puppy installed on a 4 core PC, then that opens up 8 cores available on your Windwos box
