Connecting to computers running LapLink for Windows NT

Connecting to a computer running LapLink for Windows NT is very much like connecting to a computer running LapLink for Windows 95. You can connect using a modem or serial cable and you can connect over a network or using Dial-Up Networking. However, due to Windows NT limitations, you can't connect over a wireless (IrDA) connection or by using a parallel cable.

Once you connect to the LapLink for Windows NT computer, you can use all the LapLink services: File Transfer, Remote Control, and Chat. When using Remote Control, you can't lock the keyboard or mouse of the LapLink for Windows NT computer, or blank the computer's screen.

Hint:	If you're dialing into an NT computer at the office (or another remote location), and are concerned about other people watching you work remotely, turn off the monitor before leaving the office.

Logging on to LapLink for Windows NT

If you're using Remote Control to connect to a computer running LapLink for Windows NT, you need to log on to NT (unless the computer is left logged on). Before you can log on, Windows NT displays the Begin Logon dialog box that requires you to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to log on.

Since pressing this key combination would cause your Windows 95 computer to try to reboot, LapLink for Windows NT lets you use a different keystroke to access the logon dialog box. The standard keystroke to send CTRL+ALT+DELETE to the other computer is CTRL+SHIFT+D, but this can be changed within LapLink. This keystroke is specified in the NT Logon tab of the Remote Control Options dialog box (see the LapLink for Windows NT documentation for details). If the Windows NT computer you're connecting to belongs to someone else, ask that person which keystroke to use.

Hint:	You can send CTRL+ALT+DELETE to the LapLink for Windows NT computer at any time during the Remote Control session. CTRL+ALT+DELETE can also be used in Windows NT to lock your workstation, change your password, restart the computer, and access the Task Manager.
