Key Points

  • Every Windows Vista computer is part of either a workgroup or a domain. You can share resources with other computers through either of these networks. You can change your network configuration and switch between workgroup and domain connections.

  • If your domain supports VPN connections, you can connect your computer to a domain over the Internet, from any location.

  • You can connect to a domain computer from another computer and work on it as though you were sitting in front of it, by using Remote Desktop.

  • You can connect over the Internet to a remote computer and interact with it directly as though it were your own desktop.
