Pedro, VNC will definitely not let you run two programs at the same time. Terminal Server, if run on a Win 2000 Server will let you have more than one person logged on to the same computer in two different consoles. AFAIK, this won't work on Win XP. If you want to run one instance of this program, you shouldn't have any issue at all. Even then, if you were to to run two instances in two separate consoles, you still shouldn't have any issue since the program wouldn't know it was being run twice...unless there's a shared database, of course.
So, to answer your question, as I understand it. If the PC host is running Windows 2000 Server, you can run Terminal Services on it. This will let you have the person in front of the host logon and run whatever. A person at a client, could use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to connect to the host running Win2K and run a session using any and all programs available to it as though you were logged in right there. You cannot view the session being run on the host using RDP...totally different from VNC. VNC=remote control of KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) as though you're right there RDP=remote session or logon--i.e. another console window running own programs, etc. I hope that was clear enough to explain the differences.

You want two people to be able to use the same PC at the same time. I don't believe VNC will let you do that. Terminal Server might, but the app would also have to be capable of running two copies at the same time, which might be a problem. As Rob said, with Linux, it would be definitely be possible to do what you want natively, but I don't think it's going to be easily do-able in Windows. -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Sousa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 11:59 AM To: 'Rob Nicholson'; 'John Aldrich'; 'Pedro Sousa'; vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: RE: Work simultaneously on both computers Thank you for your answers. John, I tried to look for the answer in the sites referred but I couldn't find anything related to it. Like says Rob, I'm not sure also that this is possible. What I really want is to work from my remote PC in a program allocated in the host computer while someone works at the same time in the host in another program. Is there any way to do that? May be another program? This would be very useful, because I could use a licensed program in any pc without breaking the legal contract. Thank you for your help, Pedro. -----Mensagem original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Em nome de Rob Nicholson Enviada: segunda-feira, 6 de Junho de 2005 17:51 Para: 'John Aldrich'; 'Pedro Sousa'; vnc-list@realvnc.com Assunto: RE: Work simultaneously on both computers Are your sure about this? The poster appears to want to be able to have two users logged into the *same* PC and see different desktops. For Windows environment, what he's describing is something like terminal server with maybe Citrix. With Linux and a windowing interface, I believe it's possible but that's not my area of speciality.

You have to read the FAQ on how to do it, but there is an easy way to have VNC show :0. By default this is not done. You need to start the VNC Server at boot. Go to http://faq.gotomyvnc.com and read the FAQ there, then go to www.realvnc.com and read the faq there. Between the two (and the list archives) you should be able to find the answer. This is actually a fairly-common question.

F.i.: I'm accessing the host pc to work in the accounting software, while another person is writing a letter in the host at the same time. Or what is showing in the desktop of the host pc is exactly what I can see in my remote pc?
